It wouldn't surprise me if they trade a veteran to free up cap space and to keep these promising youngsters.
This makes the most sense to me. We're too cap strapped to sign a full practice squad roster...
I read it, here, i think:I don't think we are that strapped? Share your math!

St. Louis Rams
The Rams currently have the least cap room in the NFL with just $1.67 million in cap space. The Rams already have placed Sam Bradford and Isaiah Pead on IR and they also have three other players on the list. That means that in a few days, the Rams will need to account for 58 players and a practice squad. If they opt to sign a full 10-man practice squad, it means the Rams will lose about $3.66 million in cap space. That gives them have no choice but to make a roster move before the start of the season.

:eek: Thank you.
Let's get a bit real here. Both guys are rookies...Westbrooks undrafted, and Sam a 7th rounder...what do you get in a trade for either...NOTHING!!!Or even Westbrooks if the price is right?
I just think something is going on there.
Isn't there something in the rules that if you bring in a vet. after the first game his contract won't be guaranteed all season. Cut him anytime with no cap damage. If he's on the roster before the first game its 100% guaranteed. Didn't this happen with Clemens a couple years ago?
Just because it's preseason doesn't mean it's not a legitimate source of talent evaluationLet's get a bit real here. Both guys are rookies...Westbrooks undrafted, and Sam a 7th rounder...what do you get in a trade for either...NOTHING!!!
Preseason doesn't give these guys value...IT'S PRESEASON!!!!
