Los Angeles Rams and Philadelphia Eagles
Philadelphia traded running back Izzy Lang to Los Angeles in July 1969 for Harold Jackson and rookie defensive end John Zook. Jackson immediately led the NFL with 1,116 receiving yards, later led the league again in receiving yards and receptions, and became one of the era’s top deep threats. Lang carried the ball once for the Rams and retired after the season. Philadelphia won this exchange overwhelmingly.

Los Angeles Rams and Philadelphia Eagles
Los Angeles sent quarterback Roman Gabriel to Philadelphia for a five-asset package: Harold Jackson, Tony Baker, the 1974 first-round pick used on John Cappelletti, the 1975 first-round pick used on Dennis Harrah, and the 1975 third-round pick used on Dan Nugent. Gabriel immediately revived the Eagles offense, but Jackson and especially Harrah gave the Rams far more sustained value over the following decade.

Los Angeles Rams and New England Patriots
Los Angeles traded veteran receiver Harold Jackson to New England for a 1979 third-round pick and a 1980 fourth-round pick. The selections became Mike Wellman and David Hodge, neither of whom approached Jackson’s impact for the Patriots. The Rams gained draft flexibility from an aging player, but the realized return remained modest.
