According to the National Football Post's Michael Lombardi, the deal fell through after Holt refused to restructure his contract. Appearing Friday on NFL Network, Lombardi said he suspects the Titans are still the front-runners to land Holt since they were the only team interested in trading for him.

The move has been coming for weeks but was delayed as the Rams attempted to find a trade partner. Holt was due a $1.25 million signing bonus on March 17, and his release saves the Rams $8 million in salary cap room. Despite his disappointing 2008, the 10-year veteran is expected to draw interest as a possible No. 1 receiver from the Titans, Giants, and 49ers among others. Holt's home-state Panthers could also be an option. If the season started today, the Rams would be left with Donnie Avery and Keenan Burton as the starting receivers.

The Vikes need a WR w/Holt's experience. I think he'd help us a lot. Then we could go after Oher in the draft. Umm let's see while I'm dreaming a QB & a DB! The way it looks we're not getting anything except a draft choice. Once again Childress will fuck this season and this bunch of talent will soon be a memory! :>(

Sad to see him go, still has some gas left in the tank. It will be interesting to see how Steve Spag can make these guys winners this season.

I feel for your team silver, T-Jack is obviously not the answer and so is Gus.

no one wanted to eat Holt's contract; he will probably get a nice deal somewhere maybe a short contract with a team that has a settled in qb situation;

Honestly though how much cap space do the Rams really need to clear?

Looks like Minny picked up a DB from Denver. I don't know much about the guy so I can't really comment on him.

Holt would be nice to get. I never really cared for Bobby Wade so that would be who I would get rid of.

I'm with you silver7, I think maybe it's a Viking fans curse that every time the talent is clearly there and they either have a dipshit owner that won't spend money or a dumbass coach that won't put the team over the top.

the viks have serious talent on defense and the oc gave t jax a chance to lead the team vs philly . viks had an aggressive gameplan, countering philys run blitz by throwing on running downs and passing on throwing downs; this of course put the weight on t jax shoulders and sadly he couldn't deliver - at all.

sage can use his legs to move chains occasionally; t jax doesn't seem to make very good decisions; i don't know if sage can hit the deep ball frequently or the deep out and with berryman and vishante one would think if they get some solid possession receivers (e.g. jordy nelson for gb) that teams wouldn't be able to load up in the box to stop AP
viks need to spend the $ now because their d-line isn't getting younger
