Trade Analysis
The Exchange
On 1962-09-05, Philadelphia Eagles received 1963 eighth round pick (#106-Gene Sykes), while Washington Redskins received Ed Khayat / Eddie Khayat. The documented transaction and downstream asset history are sufficiently clear to judge the deal on what each side actually realized. This was not a franchise-altering blockbuster, but the eventual player and draft outcomes still create a meaningful basis for comparing the two returns.
Philadelphia Eagles Return
Philadelphia Eagles received 1963 eighth round pick (#106-Gene Sykes) in the 1962-09-05 exchange, while Washington Redskins received Ed Khayat / Eddie Khayat. Philadelphia converted Khayat into the 1963 eighth-round choice at No. 106, used on Gene Sykes. Sykes supplied only modest value, so the pick return did not create a decisive long-term advantage.
Washington Return
Washington Redskins received Ed Khayat / Eddie Khayat in the 1962-09-05 exchange, while Philadelphia Eagles received 1963 eighth round pick (#106-Gene Sykes). Washington added Ed Khayat and received the slightly better realized return. Khayat appeared for Washington after the deal, giving the club more tangible value than Philadelphia ultimately received from Gene Sykes.
Value in Hindsight
The value gap is narrow because neither side landed a franchise-changing asset. Washington nevertheless obtained the more useful immediate player, while Philadelphia did not turn the draft choice into enough production to swing the result. The result is therefore best viewed through realized value rather than headline value at the moment of the trade. The grades stay proportional to the modest scale of the transaction while still recognizing the side that came away with the better outcome.
Final Verdict
Washington Redskins Win. Philadelphia Eagles receives a C, and Washington Redskins receives a C+. The winning side produced the better realized return from the documented package, while the losing side still gets credit for any useful value it received rather than being treated as though the transaction produced nothing.
