Cleveland Browns and Detroit Lions
Detroit Lions Win Tier: minor
Confidence: high
Cleveland Browns received Bill Schroll / Chuck Schroll / Charley Schroll, Ed Wood (a), 1952 first round pick (#10-Bert Rechichar), 1952 16th round pick (#189-Herb Neathery) and cash from Detroit Lions for Jim Martin, Ed Pasky, Tom Lucia, Lowell Tew and Dave Rakestraw. The recorded outcome favors Detroit Lions.
Indianapolis Colts Win Tier: standard
Confidence: high
Baltimore acquired veteran kicker Jim Martin from Detroit on September 3, 1963, for the 1964 tenth-round choice that became No. 134 Glenn Holton. Martin immediately scored 104 points for the Colts, making 24 field goals in 39 attempts and leading the NFL in field goals made. Holton was drafted by Detroit but never appeared in an NFL regular-season game, creating a decisive one-season value advantage for the Colts.
Washington Redskins/Commanders Win Tier: standard
Confidence: high
Washington acquired veteran Jim Martin from Baltimore on September 8, 1964, sending the Colts a 1965 20th-round choice that became No. 273 Ray Johnson. Martin handled Washington's kicking duties for all 14 games in 1964 and scored 71 points, while Johnson never appeared in an NFL regular-season game. The return was short-lived but clearly tangible, supporting Washington's existing win with conservative grades.
