Arizona Cardinals and Los Angeles Rams
The 1954 three-team deal delivered Richard "Night Train" Lane, Len Teeuws and Bob Morgan to the Cardinals. The Rams received Don Doll from Washington plus Volney Peters, while Washington received Don Paul from the Cardinals. Lane immediately remained one of football's premier defensive backs, making his move to the Cardinals the defining value swing in a complicated three-club exchange.

Arizona Cardinals, Los Angeles Rams, and Washington Commanders
Arizona captured the strongest long-term value in the January 30, 1954 three-team trade. The Cardinals received Night Train Lane, Len Teeuws and Bob Morgan; Lane became a six-year secondary star for the franchise and Teeuws became a four-year starter. Washington also created useful value by later turning Don Paul into Johnny Carson and Dale Atkeson, while the Rams' direct return proved much shorter-lived.

The hindsight grades are B for Philadelphia Eagles and D+ for Washington Redskins/Commanders, producing a Philadelphia Eagles Win verdict.
