Getty ImagesThe Rams are declining to comment on the odd report that surfaced this morning saying they would release receiver Titus Young today, just 10 days after they claimed him off waivers from the Lions.
PFT reached out to the Rams this morning when the talk of Young being released first surfaced, and the team told us that it has no comment. However, head coach Jeff Fisher is scheduled to appear at a press conference today to formally introduce Tim Walton as the team’s new defensive coordinator, and Fisher is expected to answer questions about Young at that press conference.
The story that Young would be cut began with, of all people, Rob Parker, the commentator who was fired by ESPN for making asinine comments about Redskins quarterback Robert Griffin III being a “cornball brother.” Parker is now writing for a website called The Shadow League, and he reported there that Young would be cut and may never play football again. Parker isn’t known for breaking news, but he does live and work in Detroit, so he may have a connection with Young, who has played for the Lions for two years.
We’ll be keeping an eye on St. Louis for official word about Young’s future, or lack thereof, with the Rams.

If this kid didn’t learn the first time then so be it, he’s an idiot.
Titus Young is a cornball wide receiver.
Potential suitors: Jets; Cowboys; Raiders…
Titus Young reminds me of my shower this morning.
We both pissed everything down the drain.
Loser
I’m beginning to think he really stinks at being a person.
Wow, I can’t believe a brother that is down with the cause could be cut twice in 10 days. Right Rob? Idiot!
Now this is just too bizarre…I can’t imagine what Young could have done in just ten days to blow his second (and possibly final) chance.
Let that be a lesson to you kids. It doesn’t matter how good your are. If your ego is better than your talent, you won’t get anywhere in this league.
that should be “If your ego is bigger than your talent. “
This guy ran himself out of the league just life that? How do you piss off 2 teams enough within in 2 weeks to find yourself without a job after being a highly touted draft pick
That would be very odd…why wouldn’t they at least see him on the field first?
I wouldn’t put it past Pure Blood Brother Parker to make this up just to make sure people will still notice him.
Being that birds of a feather flock together I’d trust that Parker and Young are best of buds!
It’s Rob Parker. It could go in any direction. This could be totally fabricated. parker and young are both jokes, at this point.
Ha nothing but free time ahead Titus. Good for you now you can train around the clock to become better than Megatron, on Madden anyways. Rams don’t want you now thats pretty bad.
Lets see if he’s actually cut first…
If he is, the reason will leak eventually.
He’s totally better than Megatron.
I’m pretty sure this is a false report. No way a guy can get cut this fast unless it’s a scheme by Schwartz and his buddy Fisher to destroy Young’s career to teach him a lesson.
When your a better wr than Calvin Johnson, you really don’t need to play football.
Accurate or not, that cornball reporter Rob Bradford just hit the free publicity jackpot.
You know your career is nearing its end when you are wearing a new uniform every week. Hope ya got a degree in something, Titus.
Young’s agent probably demanded they renegotiate his contract to Megatron money or trade him to a team that would.
If anyone is qualified to speak about someone ruining their own career it’s Rob Parker
Must have asked him to really play for a dollar
Can I Super Size that for you?
What’s with the Rams management? First you have Ryan and now this?
Maybe Tim Walton had something to do with it. He was the secondary coach in Detroit few seasons. I’m sure he saw and heard the antics of Titus.
The first comment that comes to mind is “hahahaha.”
Why are the Rams letting someone better than Megatron go?
Um yeah, I’ll take the number 2 Titus with no cheese on it please!
Lol
Cut before he ever got to off season workouts, mini-camps or ever touched a ball in a Rams uniform.
Have to do something pretty screwed up for that to happen.
I didn’t read through the comments section, but if someone already cracked a joke about Birds of a Feather, I’m gonna be pissed. C’mon tv426.
It does make sense they would hang out though: Young and Griff are pretty much polar opposites. Parker fervently declared he would not associate with likeable, well-spoken, black male role models. Parker must get along great with Titus; who doesn’t even have a fiancee, much less a white one.
I was disappointd when Titus Young was claimed by the Rams, who acted like a cheap hooker on her hands and knees, going down for dollars. If you let players with bad attitudes like Young suffer the consequences of their actions, it will be better for the NFL. And better for every team in the NFL.
He can’t get out his own dam way … Clueless!
But he’s better than Calvin Johnson. Why would any team release him?
They’re releasing him because the Rams are about to break the bank by making a trade for percy harvin
My hunch is he told them he wanted to play on the west coast.
He is still a wack job though and will probably flame out before his career ever takes off.
And yet, some people here will wonder why.
SMH.
I am 100% certain this guy ends up in jail.
Man I cant believe its been a whole week since our last titus young update!
hope that the next thing that i read about this young man is that he’s enrolled in college to finish his degree and that he’s seeking counseling for his apparent “personal issues”…and NOT that he’s been arrested, or worse.
He’ll end up in New England.
Well you can rule out drugs because the Rams would be required to report that and it would be all over the news so it has to do with personel.
If I had to guess, I would guess he failed to show up for a meeting or a physical and didn’t call with an excuse -emergency of something, so the Rams said screw this!
Titus Young is so awesome he demanded that he not only get thrown every pass, but also get to throw it also. He’s so fast he could catch his own thrown balls. He could also call his own plays!
The only thing funnier than this would be if Detroit puts in a waiver claim on him.
Judging by his stupidity, he has to be related to Vince.
Teams should be all over this. It’s not every day a receiver better than Calvin Johnson becomes available.
I absolutely love, LOVE that you don’t dignify Parker’s new gig with a link. If Young does get cut, maybe he’ll suck it up and head north for a couple of years. Smartest thing he could be told to do. He could hit his peak with a new attitude, come back to the NFL, and produce…… or not. Either way best of luck to him (but not Parker).
Well Fisher just confirmed it. Sad, really…
Wow. I’ve seen players cut in ten days before, but not without even working out. Maybe they found out more about him… Might never know. Unless Parker tells us of course, but then again if Parker tells us we still might not ever know…
Young could never follow the rules at BSU, and was a poor team player. He was suspended more often than not, and for some critical games.
Even if this isn’t true, I don’t see him lasting.
still remember the priceless sight of him REACHING OVER A REF to hit a saint who trash-talked him…
gee, titus, didya think people wouldnt see? like the ref?
i would say he is a moron, but that would be a dire insult to mere morons the world over.
