Rams sign Justin King

In a little brighter news, the Rams signed 4th-round pick Justin King to a three-year contract, so with players due to report today, and practices due to start tomorrow, everybody's under contract from the '08 draft except Donnie Avery. Apparently the holdup on Avery is that Philip Merling, who was picked right in front of him, hasn't signed with the Dolphins yet.

I call bullshit on that. Devin Thomas, drafted right behind Avery, is signed, as is Kenny Phillips, drafted two picks ahead of Avery. There is very little secret what Avery's going to make as the #33 pick.

Repeating an earlier post, it's probably more important to Avery to get into camp on time than it was for Chris Long. Avery's agent needs to quit screwing around and get Avery's ass in camp. Now.
