Kurt has been disconnected from the Rams for a long time. TBH I don't think it has anything to do with 2004. The people involved in the decision to release Kurt are all long gone. Rams could've welcomed him back into the fold but never truly did.
The St. Louis Ring of Fame at the Dome was just another example of the Rams odd relationship with their alumni. They had more "St. Louis Cardinals" than "St Louis Rams" player names on the wall. It was weird. Meanwhile the "Arizona Cardinals" put Kurt in their ring of honor.
Now that they're in LA, I doubt the Warner/Ram relationship improves much, unless the Rams want it to.

But on the day after the NFL announced the St. Louis Rams are no more and are heading back to Los Angeles, where they played from 1946-1994, Warner has mixed feelings.
He told Arizona Sports 98.7 FM’s Doug and Wolf Wednesday morning how it’s difficult and is not sure where his place will be with the L.A. Rams.
“I definitely don’t associate myself with the L.A. Rams and what does that look like as part of the Rams family being from here on out, it will be something that I’m completely unfamiliar with from the organization,” Warner said. “I’m very interested in seeing how this all plays out and how you feel as a member of the Rams family, but a member of somewhere else and something different — how that feels and what that looks like going forward.”
“It would definitely be strange to be at a completely different building and kind of go through that process,” Warner said of being associated with the Los Angeles version of the Rams. “Again, only time will tell what this means for former St. Louis Rams and what that looks like moving forward.
“Maybe it’s not that big of a deal as I think. You’re just proud to be associated with the Rams organization regardless of where they are. So I really don’t know. It’s just kind of a wired feeling to think that a huge part of my career and some great memories were established in St. Louis and now I will probably never go back to see another Rams game in St. Louis and be a part of that. It will be strange.”
