Los Angeles Rams and Washington Commanders

Los Angeles/Cleveland/St. Louis Rams Win Tier: major Confidence: high

Los Angeles sent veteran safety Richie Petitbon to Washington in August 1971. The return was a 1973 sixth-round selection plus a 1974 first-round pick, with the premium choice revised from a 1973 second-rounder after Washington discovered that selection had already been traded. The first-rounder later became part of another Rams transaction.
