Indianapolis Colts and Washington Commanders

Even Trade Tier: standard Confidence: high

Washington acquired veteran defensive end Fred Cook from Baltimore in July 1981 under conditional draft terms reported as a 1982 ninth-round pick and a possible 1983 sixth-rounder. Cook was released in August before making the regular-season roster, and Washington reclaimed the ninth-round choice; the playing-time condition for the later pick was not met. With no games for Washington and no realized draft return for Baltimore, the direct outcome is even.

  • Pick 1982 ninth round pick (conditional; returned to Washington when Fred Cook was waived)
