Even better: The New York Mets traded Harry Chiti to the Cleveland Indians for "a player to be named later." However, the teams couldn't agree on the other player, so the Indians sent Chiti back to the Mets. Thus, Harry Chiti was the only player in the history of sports to be traded for himself.

He was literally a former astronaut 🤣🤣🤣🤣 Fell out the chair laughing. These NFL stories from back in the day are wild.

I find it interesting that both Wyche brothers (Sam and Bubba) both played for teams based out of Detroit in 1974, with Sam as a backup with the Lions (and being paid) and Bubba as the starter with the WFL's Detroit Wheels (and not being paid).

What’s funny is I was directed here after the OTHER strangest trade in NFL history, the Broncos non existent 3rd round pic

Professional teams trading players is a business deal on the highest level. Does no one write these things down and exchange paperwork verifying the terms agreed upon?

Lol of COURSE a botched trade deal in the pre-Buccaneers '70s involved THESE two dumpster fires; only way it could've been more inept is if the Giants/Jets were involved somehow.

I may be wrong but in 2015, wasn’t there a controversy when the eagles tried to trade up for mariota, and three eagles got upset that they were on the trading block, and the coach denied it.

That's a no-brainer pick for the LIons, considering he scored 4 touchdowns to win the 1965 Chicago City Championship.

The Saints passed on Henry Lawrence in round one, Who won 3 Super Bowls with the Raiders, The selected Tight end Paul Seal and passed on Dave Casper, HOF Tight end, and then Keith Farnhorst Who won two Superbowls with the 49ers because there was no real offensive line talent in this draft.

To be fair, pass blocking before 1978 was pretty much impossible. The NFL implemented a rule change in 1978 which allowed offensive linemen to extend their arms and use their open hands while pass-blocking. We take it for granted now, but just imagine trying to stop those elite athletes on the 70's, with your only your forearms and elbows.

@@scorpiusbalthazar4327 - As defenders improved, the offense was struggling to keep up and something had to be done. No disrespect to the legendary Deacon Jones, but he helped change the game in many ways, but the game was also a lot easier for him than it is for today's pass rushers. He played from 1961-1974. The rules change was 1978. He never had to face an offensive tackle who could block with his hands. Jones also invented and perfected the head slap, which was also rightfully banned in 1977, three years after he retired. People don't like to admit it, but Jones was such a great pass rusher not ONLY because he was talented - which he was - but also because offensive linemen literally were not allowed to lay a finger on him and he was allowed to abuse them by slapping them in the ear hole. One has to wonder how good of a pass rusher he would have been in his career under modern rules. No, not modern players, just take modern rules back in time.
