Makes sense. I hold no grudges. He simply didn't pan out.

I’m kinda shocked McVay couldn’t get anything out of him. But yeah, good way to put it. No grudges.
Dude put it out there when he played. Some of the most crushing blocks put on by a Ram came from #11

I hate to say it, because Tavon brings a lot more to the Team than his stats show! But it's time to let him go! JMHO

He'll end up with his hometown team -- the Baltimore Ravens.

I remember being excited about having a faster Amendola. Too bad, because we could use him.

Best of luck, I hope we can get a trade for him, even if it's something tiny like a 6th rounder.

Goddamn it. I'm going to miss seeing Tavon Austin in Horns. Electrifying, tough player. I wish he could have fielded punts clean and took off instantly, like Danny A did for us back in the day, instead of running sideways all the time.
On his rushes, seemed like he was always good for 8 yards. And as stated above, a hell of a blocker.
Shit. He's not gone yet. Can he take a pay cut?

Best of luck Tavon unless you end up on a division rival or in New England.

Dude worked hard under McVay, hope he got that Fisher stench out of him and will continue that work ethic.

In 2016 4 total tds. Last year 1 td and 19 total yards per game. He lost more fumbles this past season than tds and first downs combined. Not even worth 3 million especially with cooper returning and the big 3 wideout package. There's just no place on this roster but I wish him success wherever he goes.

It will be interesting to see how many 6th round picks the Rams end-up going into the Draft with, 6 or 7!? Plus about 5 other picks!!?!:D Due to Pre-Draft Trades!!(y);)

Not surprised, but I take articles regarding the release of players or trades lightly this time of year. I guess what im saying is I put little faith in predictions by today's journalist

JMO , but I think he would be a star with Tom Brady and the Pats system . I don't even like saying it and I hope I'm wrong , but I think he's going to take off with another team .

I really don't think it was an issue of McVay not knowing how to use him and more of an issue with him adapting to the new "we not me" mantra. I think egos were bruised when Woods, Watkins, and Kupp were brought in and almost immediately replaced him. Injury kept him out of competing at first and when he finally got back in he had a fumbling problem returning punts which was the nail in the coffin. He will go some where who will give him another chance to return punts/kicks and be a utility player on offense and if he doesn't fumble he'll still be electric. Just not $48 million electric.
