Detroit Lions and Los Angeles Rams
Los Angeles/Cleveland/St. Louis Rams Win Tier: major
Confidence: high
Los Angeles sent quarterback Bill Munson and a 1969 third-round pick to Detroit for Milt Plum, Pat Studstill, Tommy Watkins and Detroit's 1969 first-round choice. The Rams used No. 8 on Larry Smith, who produced more than 3,000 scrimmage yards in Los Angeles, while Studstill added useful punting value. Munson gave Detroit several seasons of quarterback play, making this a real exchange rather than a rout.
Seattle Seahawks Win Tier: standard
Confidence: high
Detroit sent veteran quarterback Bill Munson to expansion Seattle for a 1977 fifth-round pick that became No. 114 Ron Crosby. Munson gave Seattle only five appearances and no starts, but the Lions' acquired selection did not develop into a meaningful NFL return. Detroit gained draft capital, yet the realized result remained modest.
Los Angeles Chargers Win Tier: minor
Confidence: high
Buffalo Bills acquired Bill Munson from Los Angeles Chargers for 1980 seventh round pick (#175-Chuck Loewen). The overall result favors Los Angeles Chargers over Buffalo Bills.
