Second, the Rams are $23M UNDER the salary cap - so his cap figure isn't an issue. Third, the Rams' line was coming under fire for underperforming this season. So, if their line is underperforming and they have plenty of cap space, why wouldn't they re-sign Timmerman if he is any good? Thus, either Timmerman isn't any good anymore and the Rams' coaches know as much, the Rams' coaches can't evaluate talent and Timmerman is still good, or the Rams' coaches can't evaluate talent but Timmerman still isn't any good.
