Rams released DE James Hall.
Hall is the fifth Rams' veteran to be jettisoned ahead of Tuesday's start of free agency. Still a productive pass rusher, Hall was due a reasonable $2.75 million in 2012, but doesn't make sense for a rebuilding club at the age of 35. He likely won't approach the 737 snaps he played in 2011 next season, but should draw interest as a pass-rushing specialist.
