Redskins trade first round pick for veteran help
The Washington Redskins sent their 1979 first round draft pick to the Cincinnati Bengals in exchange for cornerback Lemar Parrish and defensive end Coy Bacon. Bengals GM Paul Brown cited Bacon as expendable after drafting Ross Browner, and Parrish plans to play out his option with Cincinnati. Brown hinted replacements for Parrish could be Ray Griffin or Melvin Morgan. Bacon arrived from San Diego in 1976 in the Joiner trade.
