Trade 4 of 6

Cleveland Browns and Los Angeles Rams

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

Los Angeles acquired Joe Taffoni and Cleveland’s 1972 third-round pick, which became Lawrence McCutcheon, for Mitch Johnson and a 1972 fifth-rounder that became Greg Kucera. Taffoni was quickly moved again, but McCutcheon became a five-time Pro Bowl running back and one of the defining Rams skill players of the decade. Cleveland’s return never approached that level, creating a clear Rams victory.

Assets Received

Los Angeles Rams
  • Player Joe Taffoni
  • Pick 1972 third round pick (#70-Lawrence McCutcheon)
Cleveland Browns
  • Player Mitch Johnson
  • Pick 1972 fifth round pick (#128-Greg Kucera)
