I was wondering when (if) this would happen. It has happened.

@RapSheet: The #Rams have released OT Jake Long, source said. They’ll continue to discuss options with him as he rehabs.

 

[Ram_Fan]

I wonder if they are more inclined to draft an O-line more than ever now with first pick.

That would be a yes. It kind of upsets me because I was hoping we'd grab either Cooper or White

 

[Ramsey]

It had to be done.
At least Well will be able to spend more time with his huge family.
I really liked Jake...I wish he hadn't have been injured.

 

[Lesson]

Not opposed to bringing back Long at a lesser cost and if he'd be willing to play G.

Wells is done.

 

[bluecoconuts]

What cap penalties do we have now?

 

[Ramrocket]

Wow, that should make most Rams fans happy!!

I'm guessing one of two things happened with J Long. Doctors told him his knee was not going to stable enough or he wouldn't entertain a thought of a reduced wage package.

 

[FRO]

No brainer.

saves about 12 mill if I am right

Both of them are great guys, but they just had to go. Their salaries vs performance and injury history, just didn't match up. We're much better off now.

I must know the answer!

Saves about $11.75 mil. Rams are around $15mil under the cap. $10.5 mil counting the draft picks.
