Chronological Timeline
Trade 1 of 2
New Orleans Saints received Karl Sweetan from Detroit Lions for Walter Roberts, 1969 "high" draft pick (possibly 1969 #59-Larry Walton) and Walter Roberts / Walt Roberts. The recorded outcome does not show enough separation to identify a clear winner.
Trade 2 of 2
Los Angeles acquired quarterback Karl Sweetan from New Orleans for the 1971 fourth-round pick later used on Don Morrison. Sweetan served as a reserve for two Rams seasons, appearing in 11 games and throwing only 26 regular-season passes. Morrison became a long-term Saints starting tackle, starting 92 games for New Orleans from 1971 through 1977. The Rams received modest backup value while surrendering the asset that produced a foundational lineman.
