Chronological Timeline
Trade 1 of 2
Washington received (William) Larry Smith from Los Angeles Rams for 1977 fifth round pick (#130-Donnie Hickman) and undisclosed draft considerations (uncertain). The recorded outcome favors Washington.
Trade 2 of 2
Los Angeles received defensive back Eddie Brown and a 1981 seventh-round pick in a broad July 1978 exchange. Brown gave the Rams useful immediate value, including a productive 1979 season and postseason contributions, but the Rams surrendered several players and premium future choices. The return was real, yet not large enough to match Washington’s deeper package.
