Chronological Timeline
Trade 1 of 3
Washington received Randy Schultz and 1970 fifth round pick (#114-Manny Sistrunk) from New Orleans Saints for Jim Ninowski. The recorded outcome favors Washington.
Trade 2 of 3
Washington's 1975 Dave Butz signing triggered a compensation settlement with St. Louis rather than a conventional player-for-player trade. The Cardinals received first-round picks in 1977 and 1978 plus a 1979 second, while Washington received lower selections and, most importantly, retained Butz. He became a 14-season Washington defensive pillar and two-time Super Bowl champion. That franchise-level outcome outweighs the expensive compensation.
Trade 3 of 3
Washington received Joe Lavender from Philadelphia Eagles for Manny Sistrunk, 1977 sixth round pick (#158-Martin Mitchell), 1978 fifth round pick (#130-Norris Banks) and 1979 fourth round pick (#94-Ben Cowins). The recorded outcome does not show enough separation to identify a clear winner.
