Los Angeles Rams and Philadelphia Eagles

Los Angeles/Cleveland/St. Louis Rams Win Tier: major Confidence: high

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.

Trade 2 of 2

Los Angeles Chargers and Los Angeles Rams

Los Angeles/San Diego Chargers Win Tier: standard Confidence: high

The Chargers acquired running back John Cappelletti from the Rams in March 1980 for a 1982 second-round pick, later No. 49. Cappelletti gave San Diego three seasons of useful work, appearing in 35 games and making 19 starts from 1980 through 1982. The Rams retained meaningful draft value and later included the pick in a larger trade-up package, but Cappelletti's direct multi-season contribution gives the Chargers a narrow edge.

Assets Received

Los Angeles Chargers
  • Player John Cappelletti
Los Angeles Rams
  • Pick 1982 second round pick (#49) [later traded with 1981 third round pick (#69-Russ Grimm), 1981 fifth round pick (#117-Byron Braggs) and 1981 fifth round pick (#132-Gary Sayre) to Washington for 1982 first round pick (#14-Barry Redden)]
