Detroit Lions and Washington Commanders
Detroit acquired Harry Gilmer from Washington in June 1955, but the complete return was Bert Zagers and Bob Trout, not Zagers alone. Gilmer provided Detroit with two seasons of veteran quarterback depth, while Zagers became a multi-year Washington contributor. Restoring Trout to the package strengthens an already favorable Washington result and supports a clear Redskins/Commanders win.
