Chronological Timeline
Trade 1 of 3
The Rams received Bob Hoffman, Jim Hardy, and Walter Ziemba. Hoffman contributed immediately, and the three-player return gave Los Angeles more usable value than Washington obtained from Jack Jacobs, making the Rams the stronger side in hindsight. The B+ grade reflects that realized football value and the complete supported package, while the overall verdict is Los Angeles/St. Louis Rams Win.
Trade 2 of 3
Arizona acquired quarterback Jim Hardy from Los Angeles in September 1949, giving up its 1950 first-round choice, which became No. 9 overall Ralph Pasquariello, plus cash. Hardy became the Cardinals' regular quarterback and earned a 1950 Pro Bowl selection, while Pasquariello played only nine games for the Rams before later joining the Cardinals. That realized return gives Arizona the stronger result.
Trade 3 of 3
Arizona Cardinals received Art Murakowski and Bob Momsen. The Cardinals received Art Murakowski and Bob Momsen, but neither produced the expected Cardinals return. Murakowski did not play a Cardinals regular-season game, and Momsen's documented 1952 regular-season service came with San Francisco rather than Arizona. Those outside-team appearances cannot be credited to the Cardinals.
