Rob Parker, formerly with ESPN and the Detroit News, reports the St. Louis Rams will cut ties withTitus Young 10 days after claiming the troubled wide receiver off waivers from the Detroit Lions.

Jim Thomas of the St. Louis-Post Dispatch says the Ramsdecline comment. Young's agent hasn't commented either. (That's a sign the report is on point. Why else would they not deny it?)Given the ouster by ESPN after his controversial remarks onRobert Griffin III, Parker has a new gig with The Shadow League, a "sports, culture, life" website run by a former ESPN executive.

Parker's sources went as far as saying Young might not play football again, which suggests deeper problems off the field. The Detroit News reported last month that the Lions had pleaded with Young to seek help for serious emotional and mental issues. At this time, there are no details on Young's falling out with the Rams.

The Rams were the only team to put in a waiver claim for Young earlier this month. Even if it wasn't serious off-the-field trouble that led to his quick release in St. Louis, he will have trouble finding another team willing to put up with his baggage.

Bad seed & further proof the Lions really don't spend much time investigation the character of their draft board.

He was cut by Jeff Fisher of all people, for his attitude? That's how you know he's bad.

Official:


ESPN - ST. LOUIS -- Titus Young's stay with the Rams was brief. The wide receiver has been placed on waivers after only a few days in St. Louis.

Coach Jeff Fisher said Friday the Rams picked up Young before they had much time to do any background checks. He concluded that Young was "not the best option" for the Rams.

"We saw Titus as an outstanding young player," Fisher said. "We spent time with him, we spent probably four or five days with him. We decided it was best for us to go in a different direction."

Young was banished three times by the Lions last year because of his behavior, including once for punching teammate Louis Delmas. He recently lashed out at the team on Twitter, posting, "If y'all going to cut me let me go. I'm tired of the threats."
