Trade Analysis
Washington received John Petitbon, Doyle Nix and a conditional 1959 fifth-round pick that became Bob Wetoska, while Green Bay received J.D. Kimmel and Steve Meilinger. The return gave Washington two players plus a draft contingency tied to Petitbon's retirement, creating more possible value than Green Bay's two-player package. That added flexibility and the stronger recorded outcome support Washington's B+ grade over Green Bay's C+ and the Washington Commanders Win verdict in the historical record.
