The Facts:
The Rams will have a new backup QB in 2009. The team released Trent Green, who was one year into his second tour of duty with the team on Wednesday in a move that saves the team $1.3 million of salary cap space. The team also released WR Drew Bennett, saving another $50,000 in cap space.

Fantasy Football Diehards Line:
The departure of Green, a two-time Pro Bowler who was with the Rams previously in 1999 and 2000, means the Rams will have a new No. 2 quarterback in 2009. One possibility is Tampa Bay free agent Jeff Garcia, who played for Rams offensive coordinator Pat Shurmur in Philadelphia in 2006. ... Bennett, meanwhile, had been a major disappointment since signing a $30 million free-agent contract two years ago.
