Arizona Cardinals acquired Roy Lamb / Roddy Lamb from Rock Island Independents for cash. Arizona Cardinals received the stronger long-term football value, matching the Arizona Cardinals Win verdict.
Chicago acquired tackle Ed Healey from the Rock Island Independents in 1922 for $100. Bears and Hall of Fame histories identify the transaction as an early player sale, while contemporary-account summaries describe additional terms around the payment. Whatever the precise contractual mechanics, Healey stayed with Chicago through 1927, became a perennial top lineman, and entered the Pro Football Hall of Fame, producing extraordinary value for the Bears.
