As reported by Adam Schefter of ESPN, the Rams initially tried to trade for Browns stud left guard Joel Bitonio. They offered corner Marcus Peters, who was drafted by John Dorsey when he was the general manager of the Kansas City Chiefs. After Dorsey left Kansas City, the Chiefs traded Peters to the Rams for a first round pick.

Dorsey turned down the laughable offer, but then countered with Austin Corbett, second year offensive lineman that hasn't materialized into a contributor. The Rams ultimately made a deal with the Browns for Corbett, then sent Peters to the Baltimore Ravens for a fifth round pick and linebacker Kenny Young. That opened the door for the deal for Ramsey.
