Los Angeles Rams and Pittsburgh Steelers
Pittsburgh acquired defensive tackle Tom Palmer from the Rams on September 20, 1953 for a conditional 1955 eighth-round pick. The condition depended on Palmer remaining on the Steelers roster through the sixth league game. Palmer played 11 games with five starts in 1953 and returned in 1954, so Pittsburgh received useful depth and starting snaps. The Steelers earn a narrow C+ to C win.
