Cleveland Browns and Washington Commanders
Cleveland sent safety Tony Peters to Washington on August 17, 1979 for three draft choices: the 1980 fifth-rounder used on Laval Short, the 1981 fourth-rounder used on Mike Robinson, and Washington's 1981 tenth-rounder, probably Phil Kessel. Peters became a Pro Bowl safety and Super Bowl champion in Washington, while Cleveland's return produced only modest value. Washington earns an A- to Cleveland's C.
