Marty Domres NFL Trade History

Denver acquired quarterback Steve Tensi from San Diego for first-round picks in 1968 and 1969. Tensi started for the Broncos but never became the long-term answer that the price demanded. The Chargers used the selections on Russ Washington and Marty Domres, and Washington developed into a long-term starting lineman. San Diego received the stronger return and earns the decisive win.

Washington acquired proven receiver Roy Jefferson plus ninth-round selections in 1973 and 1974, sending Baltimore rookie Cotton Speyrer and its 1973 first-round choice. Jefferson immediately became Washington’s leading receiver and remained productive for six seasons, including the 1972 Super Bowl run. Baltimore received flashes from Speyrer and converted the first-rounder into later trade value, but never matched Jefferson’s sustained impact.

Baltimore acquired quarterback Marty Domres from San Diego in August 1972 for tight end John Andrews and the 1973 first-round pick Baltimore had obtained from Washington. San Diego used that selection at No. 25 on Heisman Trophy winner Johnny Rodgers, while Domres became the Colts’ primary starter during a turbulent 1972 season.

Baltimore sent quarterback Marty Domres to San Francisco for cash and a future fifth-round pick that became No. 117 Frank Myers in 1978. Myers did not become a Colts fixture, but Baltimore later moved him to Minnesota for another draft choice. The Colts preserved useful asset value while Domres made only five appearances for San Francisco.
