Arizona Cardinals and Washington Commanders
The Cardinals received Ben Preston plus the 1959 No. 52 pick used on Ted Bates. Bates supplied one useful season for the club, giving the return some genuine value, but the package did not generate the same sustained production Washington received from Johnny Olszewski. Arizona therefore lands slightly below average rather than failing completely in this historical exchange.
