It was reported earlier this week that the Rams were going to release Johnny Hekker, a 10-year veteran punter. And on Wednesday night, they made that move official.
The Rams cut their punter of the last decade, parting ways with the four-time All-Pro and Pro Bowler. He played all 161 regular-season games with the Rams, never missing a single start.
Hekker led the NFL in punt yards in 2015 and 2016. He was also first in the league in average yards per punt (47.9) in 2015, which was the best season of his career.
