Chronological Timeline
Trade 1 of 2
Pittsburgh acquired tackle Charlie Bradshaw from Los Angeles on September 12, 1961, for the Steelers’ 1962 third-round pick, No. 33 overall. Bradshaw became a six-year Pittsburgh fixture, appearing in 82 games with 80 starts and earning Pro Bowl recognition in 1963 and 1964. The Rams used the pick on tackle John Cornett, who did not produce comparable NFL value. Pittsburgh turned a third-rounder into a long-term starting tackle.
Trade 2 of 2
Detroit acquired veteran offensive tackle Charlie Bradshaw from New Orleans for running back Bruce McLenna. Bradshaw became a two-year starter for the Lions and gave Detroit a clear on-field return. McLenna was recovering from knee surgery when the Saints acquired him and never appeared in a New Orleans regular-season game, creating a wide gap in realized value between the two sides.
