Chicago Bears and Los Angeles Rams
Even Trade Tier: standard
Confidence: high
Chicago sent veteran end John Adams to the Los Angeles Rams on May 1, 1963, for the 1964 second-round choice that became No. 21 Bill Martin of Georgia Tech. Adams gave Los Angeles 13 games, 10 starts and 93 receiving yards in 1963 before his NFL career ended. Martin played 28 games for Chicago across 1964-65 with 92 receiving yards. Both clubs received modest short-term value, making an even verdict more supportable than a lopsided Bears win.
