Trade Analysis
Washington received Ocie Austin and John Lanier, while Pittsburgh Steelers received 1973 conditional pick (if either Austin or Lanier makes Redskins roster) (not exercised).

That judgment uses only the listed return and recorded outcome, keeping later assumptions or undocumented value out of the evaluation.
