Holt released by Rams

For those that think this was just a cap move:

Torry Holt's release is not surprising given his decline and opens the door for Donnie Avery. - ESPN (http://sports.espn.go.com/espn/blog/index?entryID=3978649&name=fantasy_football)

Nothing against Holt, whom I admire and believe to have a few big plays left in the tank, but you don't draft receivers with two of your first picks one year and then bring in an aging superstar the next season. That's ridiculous. While we don't know how Kelly and Thomas will turn out as professionals, we made our bed with regard to the receiver position when we drafted them. We are going to have to ride with them, giving them every opportunity to emerge as players this next season.

And I thought Holt was always pretty consistent on wanting to play for Carolina anyway?

I agree. We've got two young WRs to develop, it doesn't make much sense to chase an aging WR who has clearly lost a step. We have other more pressing needs.Has he lost a step? I don't know that. He played for a very bad team that beat the Skins 19-17. A home game at that. Kelly knees I am not sold on and most likly was a bad pick. Thomas I hope makes it. As for Holt I love to see if he has anything left but we don't have the cash anyway. Dose Pace have anything left? If he did could he move over to RT for a few years?

Over the middle and a good rout runner. I love to see him along with Moss and Thomas see what they could do. But not going to happen with RT,DE and LB needs and No Cash left. Don't get me wrong love the off season pick ups but to throw all that money at three players with three other needs left is short sided.

Hopefully that can be Kelly

Hopefully that can be Kelly I hope as well but the luck that both Kelly and Thomas pan out is poor. But that is the hand that we have been dealt so we will see!

Hopefully that can be Kelly

I thought that was Chris Cooley actually

Him too

In other circumstances, I would love to see Torry Holt in a Redskins uniform, ala Henry Ellard back in the day. Possession veteran who would compliment Moss and ARE very nicely.

However, considering that the Skins have 3 young receivers in Kelly, Thomas, and Davis, along with Moss, ARE, and Cooley, there is simply no room for him. Harrison either.
