Langford has been starter his first two seasons in St. Louis, but lost starting job to Aaron Donald last season.

After rookie defensive tackle Aaron Donald started racking up Pro Bowl worthy numbers, the Rams began fielding calls on the 29 year old DT in October, just prior to the trade deadline.  No deals were made, and Langford finished out the season behind starters Michael Brockers and the aforementioned Donald.

Langford never set the world on fire in his time in St. Louis, but proved serviceable.  Moreover, he stayed healthy.  Langford, in his seven seasons in the NFL, has never missed a game.  He’ll find work elsewhere without much problem.

Using the Rams’ official website, this move leaves the team a little sparse at the position, with only Alex Carrington - who’s also a free agent - as depth at the position.<blockquote class="twitter-tweet" lang="en"><p>Rams releasing Langford saves $6 million against the salary cap.
