Rozelle Rule Rescinded In Bryant Jessie Case
Cullen Bryant remained with the Rams after a court restraining order paused his Detroit transfer while Ron Jessie, who played out his option with Detroit, found happiness in Los Angeles. Commissioner Rozelle issued a temporary halt and later allowed the Rams to keep Bryant, using a draft choice to compensate Detroit when needed. The Mackey case challenges the Rozelle Rule as players seek relief from the transfer policy. Bryant’s and Jessie’s careers are highlighted with stats and team histories.
