Max Starks Released By Rams

The Rams have released former Steelers tackle Max Starks today. I would speculate that 80% of Steeler Nation is wondering if the team will give Max a call due to the team’s poor depth of talent, and recent struggles of the offensive line. Before his brief time with the Rams, Starks spent training camp with the San Diego Chargers and played with them throughout preseason, before losing the starting battle to King Dunlap. Starks struggled at times during his brief stint with the Chargers and Rams, though, he wasn’t exactly a top tier tackle during his last season with the Steelers, either. While I find the possibility of Max being signed by the Steelers to be pretty slim, you have to wonder if he wouldn’t bring more value to the roster than someone like Guy Whimper.

Max’s vet minimum salary is $840,000. If signed, he would count somewhere in the neighborhood of $600,000, depending on when he were signed.
