Rotoworld is reporting that the Rams have already waived WR Jared Jenkins, TE Schuylar Oordt, and WR Joe West. So that leaves six.

Beat me to it old friend.

I by no means think Justin King is safe.

Name the other six...

[general counsel]

This is not a ringing endorsement of king, but i think he is safe based on what little we have in the way of depth in the secondary.

Agreed. There's little experienced/talented depth at CB, and there are plenty of names one could choose ahead of King for Tuesday's cutdown. I doubt he's on Tuesday's list, and probably makes the active roster barring some other personnel move at the position that would make him more expendable.
