Cleveland Browns and Detroit Lions
Even Trade Tier: minor
Confidence: high
Cleveland Browns received Bill Glass (a), Jim Ninowski, Howard Cassady / Hopalong Cassady and 1963 fifth round pick (#68-Frank Baker) from Detroit Lions for Milt Plum, Tom Watkins / Tommy Watkins and Dave Lloyd. The recorded outcome does not show enough separation to identify a clear winner.
Los Angeles/Cleveland/St. Louis Rams Win Tier: major
Confidence: high
Los Angeles sent quarterback Bill Munson and a 1969 third-round pick to Detroit for Milt Plum, Pat Studstill, Tommy Watkins and Detroit's 1969 first-round choice. The Rams used No. 8 on Larry Smith, who produced more than 3,000 scrimmage yards in Los Angeles, while Studstill added useful punting value. Munson gave Detroit several seasons of quarterback play, making this a real exchange rather than a rout.
