Pittsburgh Steelers and Washington Commanders
Pittsburgh acquired Billy Wells from Washington for a 1960 seventh-round pick probably used on Lenard Wilson. The exact downstream pick carries historical uncertainty, but Wells immediately played 11 games with nine starts for the Steelers in 1957. Pittsburgh therefore received meaningful short-term service, while Washington's probable draft return did not produce comparable documented value.

- Player Billy Wells
