St. Louis Rams waive wide receiver Austin Pettis
 

The St. Louis Rams invested six picks between 2011-2013 at the wide receiver position, all in the fourth round or higher. They've struggled to find consistent production from them.

The team waived receiver Austin Pettis Monday after more than three years with the team. He was taken in the third round in 2011, with receiver Greg Salas taken a round later. Salas was traded to the Patriots two years ago.

Pettis averaged 31.6 catches in his first three seasons with 11 starts. He struggled to carve out a big role from the slot and was inactive for the team's win over Seattle on Sunday. The Rams still have Brian Quick, Chris Givens, Tavon Austin and Stedman Bailey remaining from their recent draft haul.

We'd expect Pettis to find a job at some point this season. It wouldn't be a shock if the New England Patriots took a look at Pettis; offensive coordinator Josh McDaniels was in St. Louis when Pettis was drafted.

HELL NO

Too many Austins on the team

Nope.

No more bottom rung free agents at this position... get me one top shelf free agent and atleast two draft - one in the top 2 rounds - picks in 2015.

By the time this yahoo halfway learned the offense this year, it'd be time to cut his ass.

Turd

Probably not worth it, but why not bring him in? We have no WRs outside Bowe and he's under performing

Dumpster fire.

By the time he knew enough to even sniff the field, its week 16.

Lets not waste our time, Alex has more than enough bullshitters to throw to.

AJ Jenkins......

... is a west coast offense guru compared to Pettis.

Seriously dude, he's a waste of time... lets get that corp right in 2015.

Exactly what I was thinking. I don't think these young and new receivers can absorb enough of Reid's playbook to be quickly useful.

I hope Wilson's getting there... I am sick of Hemingway and Hammond.

Pettis is fine for what he is. A possession WR with a nice wingspan who makes catches he shouldn't make more times than not.

BRING HIM IN FOR A DROP

Maybe one of those guys will make good depth next year, but I wouldnt miss any of them... looking for a TOTAL rebuild of this WR group next year.

Keep Bowe as #2 and build around that.
