NFL Trade Verdict
Even Trade
Cleveland's recorded return consisted of two conditional picks that were not exercised. Because the contemplated compensation never produced a realized asset, the retained record is administrative rather than a football-value win.
Cleveland Browns Received
- pick 1978 third round pick (not exercised)
- pick 1979 third round pick (second round if Skladany is one of top 3 punters in NFL in 1978) (not exercised)
Los Angeles Rams Received
- player Tom Skladany
Trade Analysis
The unexercised conditions prevent either side from claiming realized value. This remains an Even Trade at C/C.
