Tennessee Titans and Washington Commanders
Washington acquired Hall of Fame safety Ken Houston from the Houston Oilers in 1973 for five veterans: Jim Snowden, Mack Alston, Clifton McNeil, Mike Fanucci and Jeff Severson. Houston immediately became a cornerstone of George Allen’s defense and continued a remarkable run of Pro Bowl and All-Pro recognition.

Trade 2 of 3
Denver Broncos and Tennessee Titans
Denver Broncos received Jeff Severson in the exchange with Houston Oilers/Tennessee Titans. Jeff Severson gave Denver a full season of defensive-back depth and several starts. Against the other side's return of 1976 seventh round pick (#197-Larry Harris), that outcome supports a B- grade. The transaction is ultimately judged as Denver Broncos Win, with the grade reflecting realized football value rather than the name or nominal value of the asset on the trade date.
Assets Received
Denver Broncos
- Player Jeff Severson
Tennessee Titans
- Pick 1976 seventh round pick (#197-Larry Harris)

Trade 3 of 3
Arizona Cardinals and Denver Broncos
Denver sent defensive back Jeff Severson to the Cardinals on April 9, 1976 for the ninth-round pick used on Jim Lisko. Lisko never appeared in an NFL regular-season game. Severson played both 1976 and 1977 for the Cardinals, totaling 28 games, three starts and an interception. The Cardinals therefore converted a ninth-round pick into useful depth and own the clear win.
Assets Received
Denver Broncos
- Pick 1976 ninth round pick (#260-Jim Lisko)
Arizona Cardinals
- Player Jeff Severson
