Rams Acquire Karl Sweetan in Trade with Saints
Los Angeles Rams coach George Allen strengthened the reserve QB group by trading for Karl Sweetan from the New Orleans Saints for two future draft choices.

Allen called it one of the most profitable trades and noted the possibility of keeping three quarterbacks next season.
