I'm a little pissed we waived Claiborne. It means a bum like McGee has a shot at the last corner spot even though he's done nothing in his career to earn it. Claiborne had a solid camp. I hope we go externally to fill the fifth CB slot.

Rams waived CB Imoan Claiborne, 
OT Steven Baker, OT Travis Bond, 
S Jay Hughes, LS Tyler Ott, K/P Michael Palardy, 
WR Tyler Slavin, TE Brad Smelley, 
LB Korey Toomer and C David Wang.

Veteran WR Damian Williams was released. Claiborne's release came as a "mild surprise" to reporter Nick Wagoner. Getting cut loose now suggests the Rams don't view him as a candidate for the practice squad.

I still am shocked Fred Jackson was cut.

How much money was he due? They may have figured he made too much to make the team as a backup, and figured to treat him right by cutting him now so he has more chance to catch on elsewhere. Wouldn't be the first time that an aging but still useful player was cut early on for that reason.

from overthecap.com:

Fred Jackson, RB, Bills– This release seemed to catch some off guard, but once the Bills made a large commitment to LeSean McCoy it didnt really make sense to have Jackson also on the team, regardless of his history in Buffalo. The Bills need the cap space for 2016 to avoid going overboard in resturctured contracts in order to be cap compliant, especially once they are forced to use the franchise tag on Marcell Dareus. They will gain $2.5 million in the release.

Rams Announce 12 Roster Moves
By Myles Simmons


View: http://www.stlouisrams.com/news-and-events/article-1/Rams-Announce-12-Roster-Moves/72159584-6524-41c1-9b7c-2e066e51f1a7#


The Rams have made 12 roster moves, reducing their active roster to 78 players. 



With his season-ending foot injury, cornerback E.J. Gaines has been placed on injured reserve.

St. Louis terminated the contract of wide receiver Damian Williams, effectively making him a free agent. 



Finally, the team waived the following 10 players:
OT T Steven Baker (East Carolina)
OT Travis Bond (North Carolina)
CB Imoan Claiborne (NW Louisiana State)
S Jay Hughes (Mississippi State)

LS Tyler Ott (Harvard)
K/P Michael Palardy (Tennessee)
WR Tyler Slavin (New Mexico)

TE Brad Smelley (Alabama)*
LB Korey Toomer (Idaho)*

C David Wang (Virginia Tech) 



*Waived/Injured

In accordance with league rules, the Rams will have to make three more moves to bring the roster to 75 players by tomorrow's deadline.

Interesting, seems there's external minimum wage options already happening. From overthecap.com:

Tim Jennings, CB, Bears– A surprising cut because Jennings’ entire $4.4 million salary is guaranteed for the year and will be paid by Chicago even though he is off the team. Jennings will sign somewhere for the veterans minimum ($970,000) which will reduce the Bears payments to him by that amount. Overall they will take on $5.25 million in dead money this year and $1.5 million next year. The teams saves $0 against the cap in 2015 and cut $4.25 million in 2016 costs.
