Jerametrius Butler released

stltoday.com

It isn't a big surprise that Jerametrius Butler has been cut. He missed the '05
season with a blown knee and basically missed the '06 season in the Haslett/
Linehan doghouse. He hadn't even reported to Rams Park this season; hard
to blame him. He didn't really get a chance to re-prove his worth on the field.

JB was a capable CB prior to his injury, and he didn't seem that far off from
becoming a real shutdown CB. He deserved a fairer shot here, and the Rams
have imo wasted a potential defensive resource.

Although he basically hasn't played in 2 years, I'd think JB will still garner
some interest around the league and get some camp invites at a minimum.
Heck, with former coaches at Chicago and Indy, he could end up on a Super
Bowl team. Detroit is an obvious stop on his itinerary, and don't tell me he
isn't better than Travis Fisher right now. Washington was willing to drop a
big contract on him a few years ago; he'd improve their secondary now at
a much more reasonable price.

Good luck to JB wherever he ends up.
