Kurt Warner has been told by the St. Louis Rams that he will be cut after June 1, the quarterback's agent told the New York Daily News.
Mark Bartelstein, Warner's agent, told the newspaper that Rams coach Mike Martz informed Warner on Monday of the team's decision.
Bartelstein said the Rams gave the two-time MVP permission to contact other teams. That process has already begun, the agent told the newspaper.
"We're trying to find the right place and the right situation," Bartelstein told the Daily News. "Kurt is in great shape, he's as healthy as can be and ready to have a terrific season."
Messages left for Bartelstein at his office and Martz at his home by the Associated Press were not immediately returned late Monday night.
By waiting until after June 1 to cut him, the Rams lessen the hit on their salary cap. Warner will cost them $4.6 million this year and $6.7 million next year. He is slated to cost St. Louis $9.5 million this year.
An announcement from the Rams on Warner could come as early as Tuesday, the newspaper reported.
