NFL roster cuts: Rams moves clear cap space

The St. Louis Rams released Mardy Gilyard. Last year's fourth-round draft pick announced the move this morning via Twitter. Gilyard's release is the third move revealed today, Zac Diles and Renardo Foster being the other two cuts. Can Gilyard catch on with another team?
Gilyard's rookie season started slow. An arcane NFL rule preventing players from practicing until their college has had its spring graduation kept him out of minicamp and OTAs last year. He struggled to pick up the playbook. Learning a new offense this year really hurt. The Rams gave him ample opportunities to make his case with special teams work.
Not much more than a year removed from being a top 100 pick in the NFL draft, some team will take a chance on Gilyard. He showed some skill as a gunner on special teams, and that might be enough. If some team out there can develop a limited, simple role for him in its offense, he might stick. The obvious connection is Pat Shurmur. I also wonder if Jacksonville won't give him a call as well.
Releasing Diles, Foster and Gilyard frees up $2.7 million in cap space, according to Howard Balzer. That cap space could come in handy if they want to continue to pursue a player like Joselio Hanson. However, they also like to keep some cap space available for injury replacements, etc. Don't forget, they'll need some room with Mark Clayton back in the fold now. As Long as he is on the PUP list, Clayton's contract does not count against the salary cap (it would count after week six if he were in the last year of his deal, whether he returned to the roster or not).
Another move to keep an eye on as Denver will release TE Dan Gronkowski, a player added by Josh McDaniels. I doubt very much that the Rams would add him. I mention it because Gronk does pass block, and according to PFF, did pretty well in limited reps. If the Rams got really hungry for cap space, Billy Bajema's $985,000 salary might be tempting.
The Rams will not officially announce any cuts until 5 p.m. today, coinciding with the deadline. The players, agents and the media will take care of that for them. Some old school PR by the Rams.
The college football open thread is here. Follow us on Twitter.
The cuts since yesterday include: DE Demario Ambrose, LB Zac Diles, CB Tae Evans, OT Renardo Foster, LB Pete Fleps, WR Mardy Gilyard, T Cody Habben, G Randall Hunt, CB Jeremy McGee and FB Van Stumon
UPDATE: The Rams have released RB Keith Toston, TE Fendi Onobun and RB Chase Reynolds
UPDATE 2: Jonathan Nelson, one of the Rams 7th round selections this year, has been released as well. DT Marlon Favorite has been cut as well. TE DeMarco Cosby has been released too.

If they gave Gilyard that many chances to make the team...no way pettis's job is
in jeopardy.

curry might be the big surprise?
My two favorite teams, the St. Louis Rams and whoever's playing the winers.
can a team list a player at a different position if he does not make the cut at his own?
Like curry just for special teams could we list em as a punter just to keep em on for kick returns or does it even matter wat position u r?

Looks like the 'ol Onobun experiment is over.
They should have never wasted a 6th rounder on him. I knew this was going to be the outcome.
We will be hearing about him somewhere-

Re: Gronkowski
Gronk is a smart kid that has a reputation for blocking more than catching, but he has pretty soft hands and is versatile – under McD, he played both TE and FB.
I don’t think it’ll happen, either, but he would be a good addition.

Yeah
there is a reason the BRONCOS of all teams are cutting him. Bajema is is more than adequate, especially in blocking.

They have bad tight ends,
if Dan Gronkowski was good, I really highly doubt they’d have cut him.

Oy.
Broncos want to distance themselves from McDaniels AND they are running a different system.
When a new coach comes in, he wants to brings his own guys with him. Fox has gotten rid of all of McDaniels’ and Shanahan’s TEs.
And to further refute your point… the Broncos just cut Perrish Cox. Cox is a bonafide starter in this league, but he has a trunk of bad PR waiting for him this coming season. So, he’s good, yet they’re cutting him. This is the real world. Decisions aren’t… binary. There’s politics involved.

Nothing is wrong with you thinking that.
Thinking that this team has no direction because we cut Fendi Onobun is quite ridiculous LOL. If they cut Kendricks, then maybe I’d think we have no direction.

if kendricks is double teamed it means he's done enough to deserve to be double teamed.
and thus opens up opportunities for other receivers.

but with out WRs
it would have been good to have a fast te on the other side , it is not crazy important but it was the wrong move in my opinion

Bajema is underrated as a reciever
I think he can definitely catch, he just might not be that good at getting open
He is there to block...
Is this much ink really being used over the 3rd TE?
When your 7th WR
is Danario Alexander…well, you can do a LOT worse. The problem is many expected 4 TE’s, so unless we keep Guidugli, we only have 3 with one being injury prone.

I'm not overreacting about who the third TE.
It’s very obviously Bajema, who is tons better than Onobun at this point. I’m worried if we’re keeping four, which is what I CLEARLY stated.

when Hoomanawanui is injury prone. I don’t want two healthy tight ends on my roster on a two tight end set offense.

Just thought it was weird that you said that since that is usually me doing that when people start getting all mad that there’s a good discussion going on.
And yuo wanna fire Tony La Russa,
everyone overreacts on thing. I think I’m reacting rationally, just a simple explanation.

Dude...
First of all, stay on topic. Second of all, keep to things you know about. You live in Cali so you aren’t a Cards fan so I don’t think you personally can tell me whether I’m rational or not on that given I’ve watch 140-150 games and you’ve probably watched 10 tops.
Freaking out AT all about losing a fourth TE is in itself pretty irrational considering he’s a 4th TE!
Overreacting is on topic,
and I’m pointing out that everyone does it. You gonna call every single that overreacts out on it?. I live in Vegas, so I suggest YOU keep to things you know about. Like I said, who is freaking out? I made a simple explanation that we could do a lot worse than DX as a 7th receiver and that it’s important to talk about our third TE because many wanted four, and you think I’m overreacting. If anything, you’re overreacting about my comment.

Ok douche,
Bullet points to keep it simple.
1. You were off-topic when you brought Tony LaRussa in the conversation. Not really hard to grasp.
2. I didn’t act like you lived in Cali. I even asked to make sure. Vegas, Cali, whatever, point being you don’t watch Cards games.
3. Yes i am overreacting.
You didn't act like I live in Cali?
“You live in Cali so you aren’t a Cards fan” is not a question, it’s an assumption. And what the hell…I thought you were stlcardinalsfang the whole time LOL.

Fang, everyone at TST has a really irrational love fest for Fendi.

I'd even say he is better.
Bajema has done something in the NFL. At worst, he’s a good blocker. And the few times he gets open, he makes the catch.
Milyard and Toast were on the "Chop List."
For some reason Onobun didn’t appear on the roster last Feb, lest he would’ve been there too. I definitely missed Renardo getting the ax.
yeh i saw that as soon as i hit post lol

You were right about Diles, but if kehl goes, then we are shallow at depth...which you
also pointed out would happen and we would probably go get another vet come this time in the season.
So, who do you think the Rams have their eye on?
- And here's the Rams' 2010 season in a series. Incomplete pass, 18-yard run, incomplete pass, 7-yard run, 5-yard pass, 3-yard run, sack, incomplete pass, punt. Shoot me. - 3K
I think we're keeping 6.
The only reason many had 7 was because no one wanted to cut Diles but also wanted to keep Jabara Williams. With Diles gone, Williams probably stays, and Kehl goes to make 6.

- And here's the Rams' 2010 season in a series. Incomplete pass, 18-yard run, incomplete pass, 7-yard run, 5-yard pass, 3-yard run, sack, incomplete pass, punt. Shoot me. - 3K
yup
thats why i dont get why we got rid of a great tackler in diles without giving him much chance to prove himself. our depth is certainly lacking but thinking we had diggs and kehl starting last yr i feel ok
Rams Bulls and Mets allllllllll day also i do love white castle
Yeah I am not sure what to think there...
In the begining of preseason, he actually did get quite a bit of time in the second half with the 2s but poppinga and leber were liked better for their performance. I didnt see Diles do anything poorly, but he also didnt stand out either.
I seems like there is a certain type of linebacker spagnolo is looking for to make his system work. This has been my thought since he first took charge as the one place the Rams were loaded at was outside LB IMO when spags took over…but he got rid of them all. So its not to say that Diles is bad, its just he didnt adjust to the way the Rams defense plays linebacker.

yeh
that makes me think i wish we still have witherspoon but yeh i think u might be right i just hope he doesnt get rid of so many he ends up with nothing left

It's Chamberlain.
He’s a ST stud, no one Spags lets him go. As long as he doesn’t start at LB, I’m okay with that lol.

instead of 13 to go ...
Isn’t is atleast 13 to go. Won’t they probably cut more so they can add players cut from other teams… like back up line man and corner.
cuz spags
thought he was a great conversationalist and he could have some great conversations with him for a couple days
Rams Bulls and Mets allllllllll day also i do love white castle
They thought he'd be good enough to make the team, got a good look at him, and then realized he wasn't good.
It’s quite simple actually.
Agreed. or they confused him for another player when they called him? lol
‘What do you mean you’re not a cornerback?"
what time eastern is the final result supposed to be in
Rams Bulls and Mets allllllllll day also i do love white castle
cool thanks
just alittle bit and we got our final roster this is exciting
Rams Bulls and Mets allllllllll day also i do love white castle
so our drafts are not success becasue a 4th and a 7th are not on the roster anymore
you really need to leave your old man bubble and check out some other teams. You’ll notice very similar results.
If you love something, set it free. If it doesn't come back, find it and kill it.

i dont think its a big deal to make a mistake on a pick
the bad teams/gms refuse to realize their mistakes and hurt their teams more for longer. like my dad says making mistakes is inevitable but accepting and learning from it makes you better. so….. CUT Pettis please
Rams Bulls and Mets allllllllll day also i do love white castle
Dude,
Chop would have cut Terry Bradshaw or Troy Aikman after their rookie years.

Most definitely. Vobora should been gone last year or the year before. He hust us everytime he took the field.
btw. He was a Linehan pick…
Im glad you and chop arent our gms
Because disrupt white didn’t do that great his first two years ya would have cut him Smh

Well now...
My poor ol’ 55 year old eyes seem to see that it looks like we’re missing 5-7 already on 2009. And 4,5,6 on 2010. And, those were years we picked 2nd and 1st overall, i.e. we had the best shot at BPA. And then there’s 1st round pick Jason Smith, the $33M man who I don’t think anyone will ever consider as Orlando Pace Jr. My guess is that by day’s end 2009 4th pick D. Scott will be gone too. And now ther’s gotta questions raised as to why we ever drafted Lettis and Salad. Did McD have too much influence this year??
I didn't think Murph was good pick either, but he gets another shot by default due to injury.
IF we’ve got any brains at all, Scott is goner. Selvie is just too small at 6’4" 245 lbs to be a true NFL DE. And Sims should be on the bubble at best. Is Marquis still around???
i dont think you are a good pick
you are on my chop list
If you love something, set it free. If it doesn't come back, find it and kill it.
that wont save you a roster spot!
If you love something, set it free. If it doesn't come back, find it and kill it.
Looking at that list...
…that’s a pretty damn good 2010 draft right now. 2009 we still have our top 4 picks, which any team in the league would call a success.
"I kind of stepped my swagger up. You look at the Madden game and the swagger's so low, maybe they'll bump me up. Before it was a meatball flex, so you've got to liven it up a little bit." - Animal Jr.
That's a 7th rounder.
It really changes nothing on the 2010 draft right now. It would have been amazing if he panned out, but not surprising if he didn’t. So is the life of a 7th rounder.
"I kind of stepped my swagger up. You look at the Madden game and the swagger's so low, maybe they'll bump me up. Before it was a meatball flex, so you've got to liven it up a little bit." - Animal Jr.
My sentiment exactly about 6-7th rounders and UDFA's. There's a 95% failure probability.
That’s why I could never see why so many people favored Vobora, Selvie, et. al. And people talk about…“maybe we could get a 7th pick for this guy.” Why bother? It’s like buyin’ a lottery ticket. For every Tome Brady, there are 1000 David Vobora’s.
I don't think it's that they're favored so much.
I mean it’s always nice to root for a 7th rounder to pan out, but I think it’s when you make it reflect on the draft grade that people don’t like. Mardy was a failure for sure, but Sims and Hull and Hoomanawanui are capable players in this league and I think it makes up for Mardy. Hitting on late rounders I think balance out missing on third and fourth rounder. Missing on first and second is inexcusable.

Underestimate them becasue they say rediculous things that have no basis in reality!

Its about perspective...Ramchops is from a superbowl franchise....which is true the Rams
need to do better if they want to have the kind of revolving talent the packers have…but that also doesnt mean the Rams FO sucks either.

the pack was one bad pick from being just like us
Had the niners picked rodgers instead of smith… who knows what would have happened.

I think the Rams do well in the higher rounds..especially the 2nd round and thats not an issue
but it starts to go downhill after the 3rd round. The Packers, Steelers, patriots etc do very well in the lower rounds as well.

Waay too small to be NFL DE.

still i thoguht he was
better then cj ahu , i thought of him like Little
Rams Bulls and Mets allllllllll day also i do love white castle
Yeah he was small.
It’s no surprise that they’d go for more complete DE’s with the way Sims and Ah You have played this preseason.

i think that’s gonna hurt our return game this year.
But it’s no great loss I suppose. Maybe Salas or Pettis can return kicks?

I think he's a slow developer....
….and we just can’t sit around and wait on him. Especially since we just drafted Salas and Pettis. But I still believe he’s got a lot of potential, and I also think he was our best return man.
But we’re gonna make it with who we got.

He has alex smith disease right now...way to much thinking and not enough doing.
He is to afraid of screwing it up that he is screwing it up. At least for Mardy he hasnt been doing it for 7 years in the NFL. I think you are right he is a slow developer but I also think that was compounded by McD’s crazy offense which give Receivers wwwaaaaayyyy more to think about as I am learning and reading about it.
There is a good link 3k posted here linking to the browns boards on breaking down shurmur’s passing offense where you just run the play. Then there is the stuff on McD’s were a receiver has like 4 – 6 different possible routes in a “route tree” he can run based on what he sees from the presnap read and even after the ball is snapped to which he and the QB have to be reading the exact same thing so that they both know the correct route that is going to be run.
I think Mardy has a good chance of being looked at again because the coaches did give him alot of extra duty…he has some experience in ST and WR so a team (maybe like the browns) will give him a look.

I'll bet they already have someone in mind to plug into his place-
In the cool still quiet hours of night, you can hear Eagles players softly uttering love words to themselves while kissing their hands and arms. "I am the Dream team-I am the Dream team"
I'm really likin' what I've seen so far. But DX, Feeler, Scott and Kehl have still got to go.
They probably don’t need both Lettis and Salad either. I don’t trust King either. Fraley must know where BD/Spags skeletons are hidden. I know he’s a former Giant, but he will kill us if he ever has to play the O-Line for real. And we already know “Iceberg” can get the whole O-Line caved back in at RG. We need to discard about 15 more players and pick up some better castoffs.
ramchop you seem to be a pretty good evaluator of talent on the defensive side of the ball...
i too love the defensive side myself. so let me ask you a question, what would the ideal DT to pair with robbins if you had your way? me? with the draft the just past, im still stewing about the fact that the rams had EVERY opportnity, after opportunity, to grab a damn good DT in the draft.
and after seeing luiget, austin, phil taylor, watts, wilkerson, you name it, there names bypassed when the rams were on the clock…i went berzerk! now that muir just got cut? i really dont know what freakin direction devaneys going right now? have you seen luiget play this preseason?…..(excuse me….i got something in my eyes!).dont get me wrong,i love the quinn pick, you didnt, thats where we dont agree, but i will say this again, in a perfect situation what would you have went with? and im talking draft, and players that were cut.
I have taken a lot of flack for it, but I've stated several times that I would've taken Corey Liuget over Robert Quinn.
I know the pundits and nearly all the fans rejoiced when we picked Quinn. Not me. Like several other teams that passed on him, I’m worried about his long-term health problem. God bless him, but he’s playing with a brain tumor in his skull. Plus, he’s been outta fb for well over a year. How did anyone expect him to start fast? With guys like Robbins, Hall and SJax not getting any younger, and having signed some guys in their 30’s, we need to try to win NOW. We can’t wait 2-3 years for Quinn to break out (I’m still waiting on Long too). Conversely, I think Liuget and Robbins would’ve excelled as a DT combo right off.
thanks chop
you just gave me chills with the thought of luiget and robbins. i had stated during the draft, that luiget was going to be a major contributor right away, and soo far the gms ive seen him play, hes an absolute monster! no hes not ndamukong status, but he will be up there for D.R.O.Y. hell chop, even mel kiper was shocked! when he didnt go to the rams.
bottom line chop, the rams greatest need was at DT. they even said it themselves, and to not address it, when the position was full of great DT’s, i was shocked as well when they overlooked all the ones i mentioned. now what? the rams are going to have to scour the waiver wire for some of the scrub DT’s that were just cut from there teams. and now to cut muir? again chop im not fully understanding the direction there headed?

Did you evaluate the preseason
game tape like they did? I’m okay with you not understanding the direction they’re headed because the coaches and the players know. Cutting Muir is not a big deal, it’s just a surprise that it happened because he was a FA signing.
