17:44 PT: The Post-Dispatch reports the St. Louis Rams are working on a contract extension that would lower OT Kyle Turley's salary cap number in 2003. "He's our starting right tackle," Rams coach Mike Martz said. "Grant Williams will be our third tackle right now. And I'm not sure what we're going to do with John (St. Clair). John may go back inside." Martz says he's planning on having OT Orlando Pace line up at left tackle next season. "Any time you can add attitude like Kyle's at any position, you should do it," Martz said. "I love the way he plays. I remember him at San Diego State. We loved him coming out."

The St. Louis Rams acquired offensive tackle Kyle Turley from the New Orleans Saints on Friday for a second-round selection in the 2004 draft.

Rams coach Mike Martz called the acquisition a "major step in really solidifying the offensive line." Turley likely will start at right tackle ahead of John St. Clair, a disappointment last season.
