For me the answer is Jack 'Hack-Saw' Reynolds! He Played for us @ MLB from 1970 to 1981. To me he was the Back-Bone of the Team! I screamed as load as I could at anyone that would Listen, that we would Pay For letting him go! He went to the 49ers, who up to that point in history WE OWNED! He taught them how to watch Film, and Train! And then they went on to when SB XVI and XIX before he retired! He was one of my very favorite Players! IMHO I was wright! (P.S. in case you didn't know he got his nick name after cutting a '53 Chevy in half after Losing a game to Ole Miss in College!) Who's your pick for the Rams most important Player Lost?

We've let a number of good players go. Off the top of my head Jerome Bettis, Kevin Greene, Ryan Pickett, Hacksaw, Roman Phifer, Wendell Tyler... The one that probably ticks me off the most was trading Dickerson for a bundle of picks and then squandering them.

As far as allowing players to walk, yeah, has to be Fletcher.
 
Hacksaw was one heckuva nice guy, but he definitely had those crazy linebacker eyes, similar to Singletary.

but yeah, just about everyone mentioned above was hard to see depart.

London Fletcher freaking Jay Zygmunt...Don't get me started because the man with a Juris Doctorate and a CPA was not smart enough to contact Fletcher's agent to ask him what they were looking for contractually. Instead he signed Jamie Duncan because he felt Fletcher would be out of the Rams price range until Fletcher signed with Buffalo and Zygmunt then realized the Rams could have kept both Leonard Little and London Fletcher.

Jay Zygmunt you Bastard!
 
Fletcher and Warner are the big ones. And Holt and Bruce should have never left But I didn't like as kid that we let Dre Bly go, I know he wasn't on there level at all but he was one of my favorites.
