"Let the Torry-Holt-to-the-Bears talk resume again: As expected, the Jacksonville Jaguars released the veteran wide receiver Thursday.

It was a popular topic last year after Holt left the St. Louis Rams, where he spent the first 10 years of his career, and it's sure to gain even more momentum with Mike Martz in place as the Bears' new offensive coordinator.

Holt became a star in "The Greatest Show on Turf" under Martz and his career numbers look worthy of the Hall of Fame: 920 receptions, 13,382 yards, 74 touchdowns.

But Holt, who will turn 34 in June, was only the third-leading receiver for the Jaguars. He caught 51 balls for 722 yards and no touchdowns. Jacksonville got more production out of Matt Jones the year before, and Jones wasn't in the league in 2009.

The remarkable thing about Holt is his durability. He has missed only three games in 11 seasons, but scouts have said he has issues with his knees and he's not the same player he once was.

Martz has raved about the Bears' wide receivers. He has said the position could prove to be a "diamond" and already is dropped hints about his plans, including moving Devin Hester to the slot. That would leave Johnny Knox and Devin Aromashodu, two players he has gushed about, and Earl Bennett in competition for starting jobs on the outside."
