Trade 1 of 2
Chicago Bears and Los Angeles Rams
Chicago sent Tom Harmon's rights to Los Angeles on July 20, 1946 for Dante Magnani and Fred Davis; contemporary reporting does not support cash as part of the trade package. Magnani immediately started seven games and helped the 1946 champion Bears, while Davis became a multi-year Chicago tackle and Pro Bowl selection. That two-player return gives Chicago the stronger hindsight result.
