Receiver Isaac Bruce will retire as a member of the St. Louis Rams. Bruce, who holds every major receiving record in Rams history, was traded from the San Francisco 49ers to the Rams on Monday so the receiver could retire with St. Louis. The ceremonial trade did not include an exchange of players or draft picks, Rams spokesman Casey Pearce said. A league source, however, told ESPN NFL Insider Adam Schefter that the 49ers would receive a conditional 2012 draft pick if Bruce plays this season for St. Louis, which is extremely unlikely. The 37-year-old Bruce and the Rams will hold a news conference Wednesday to announce his retirement. http://sports.espn.go.com/nfl/news/story?id=5261130
