Transaction Snapshot
Recorded Trade
Trade 1 of 1
Chicago Bears and Los Angeles Rams
Chicago acquired Jesse Whittenton and Bob Carey from the Rams in February 1958 for tackle Kline Gilbert, but Gilbert retired and the compensation was changed to Chicago's 1959 fourth-round pick, No. 44 John Tracey. Whittenton never became a Bears contributor and Carey barely played, while Tracey provided little direct Rams value before another trade. The realized exchange grades evenly at C/C.
Assets Received
Los Angeles Rams
- Pick Kline Gilbert (later changed to 1959 fourth round pick (#44-John Tracey) when Gilbert retired)
Chicago Bears
- Player Jesse Whittenton
- Player Bob Carey
