Trade 1 of 1
Detroit Lions and Washington Commanders
Detroit received Jim Ricca and Walt Yowarsky, but neither became a meaningful Lions return. Ricca appeared in only six Detroit games with one start in 1955, while Yowarsky played only two games for the club before his release. The package gave Detroit little durable lineup value, especially compared with the immediate starting impact Washington received from LaVern Torgeson.
