What's the advantage to releasing players now?

I saw the Rams added a bunch of players to their I guess practice squad roster in effect to call dibs in a way but not in a way to stop a team if it really wanted them, but what is the advantage to releasing players post season, ala Mark Ingram and RG3? How does it help you cap wise to cut them now as opposed to during/before training camp/draft?
