The Steelers and Rams strike a deal for the first time since 1997 when the Rams traded Jerome Bettis, now know as "The Bus", to the Steelers.
The Steelers Send
MLB - Lawrence Timmons - 90 overall age 29
The Rams Send
CB - Trumaine Johnson - 73 overall age 25
WR - Chris Givens - 71 overall age 25
2nd Round Pick (43 overall)
The Steelers trade Timmons to get some cap room in anticipation of big time FA in the coming season. Â In return they get a young CB ready to start for a team with aging DB's, they also get Speedy WR Chris Givens, to help fill the slot, and hoping bust this dormant offense (15 ppg last year) wide open, and get the Steelers over that .500 hump.
