Rams release veteran T Turley
June 8, 2005

ST. LOUIS (Ticker) - As expected, the St. Louis Rams released veteran tackle Kyle Turley, who failed his physical.

Turley missed all of last season with a back injury and then essentially wrote his ticket out of St. Louis when he engaged in a shouting match with coach Mike Martz.

The Rams waited until after June to waive Turley, splitting their salary cap hit to $1.82 million in 2005.

Turley started every game at right tackle in 2003 for the Rams after being acquired from the New Orleans Saints for a second-round pick. However, he underwent surgery for a herniated disc in 2004 and was placed on injured reserve in August.

Turley played at about 310 pounds at tackle, but his weight dropped to below 250 in the offseason.

The Rams selected Florida State tackle Alex Barron in the first round of the April draft to replace Turley.
