Kansas City Chiefs President Carl Peterson announced on Wednesday that the club traded WR Dante Hall to the St. Louis Rams in exchange for a fifth-round draft choice (148th overall). In addition, the two clubs also exchanged positions in the third round, moving the Chiefs up in the third round to the 82nd overall selection. With the deal for Hall, Kansas City now has seven picks in the 2007 NFL Draft. The fifth-round pick obtained for Hall was originally acquired by the Rams from Buffalo. ?This trade allows us to get back to seven draft choices in the 2007 draft,? President Carl Peterson commented. ?We feel that it?s always important to have at least seven draft picks and, hopefully, we?ll be able to acquire another one or two in the days to come. Dante has been an outstanding performer both on the field and in the community. He?s been a very valuable player in this organization and a very productive one and we wish him the very best.?

Ricky Williams, who has applied for reinstatement in the NFL after a one-year suspension for substance abuse, could find a home with the St. Louis Rams. Coach Scott Linehan, the offensive coordinator when Williams played for the Miami Dolphins in 2005, said Thursday he'd consider adding Williams to the roster as a backup. The Rams need depth behind Steven Jackson. "He's proven himself with me," Linehan said. "I know there would be a certain amount of risk involved based on that, but I would just because he deserves that based on what he was able to do."
