Detroit Lions and New York Yanks
Detroit Lions Win Tier: major
Confidence: high
Detroit sent Bob Mann to the New York Yanks in early August 1950 as the replacement payment for Bobby Layne after fullback Camp Wilson, the player in the original April agreement, refused to report. Green Bay's official history of Mann confirms that sequence. Layne became a Hall of Fame quarterback and championship centerpiece in Detroit, while Mann was released by New York before the regular season.
