The Baltimore Ravens traded WR Mark Clayton to the St. Louis Rams on Monday, hours after agreeing to a deal with free-agent WR T.J. Houshmandzadeh.

Clayton, a first-round pick in 2005, was sent to St. Louis with an undisclosed draft pick for a similarly-undisclosed draft pick.

He will join a depleted Rams receiving corps that lost No. 1 option Donnie Avery to a torn ACL in late August. Clayton, 28, never achieved a 1,000-yard receiving season with the Ravens.

He'll join a receiving unit catching passes from No. 1 overall pick Sam Bradford.

Clayton was expendable in Baltimore, which is suddenly flush with receivers with Anquan Boldin, Houshmandzadeh, Derrick Mason and Donte' Stallworth (who is out for several weeks with a foot injury).
