Sam Baker (H

Dallas acquired Tommy McDonald from Philadelphia Eagles for Lynn Hoyem; John Meyers; Sam Baker (H.). The deal grades toward Philadelphia Eagles because Dallas gave up the stronger long-term value, cleaner draft conversion, or more useful roster asset.

Dallas acquired Sam Baker (H.) from Cleveland Browns for Tom Franckhouser / Tom Franckhauser. The exchange remains close enough to classify as even because the available record is thin, conditional, cash-based, administrative, or too marginal to show a durable advantage for either side.

Cleveland acquired Sam Baker (H.) from Washington Redskins/Commanders for Francis O'Brien / Fran O'Brien (b); Bob Khayat. The available record points to a balanced exchange or low-stakes roster churn, not a clear historical win.

Los Angeles/Cleveland/St. Louis Rams acquired 1955 second round pick (#15-Ron Waller / Ronnie Waller) from Washington Redskins for Sam Baker (H.). Hindsight favors the Rams side because the acquired value, role, or draft outcome carried more weight than the outgoing package.
