Pro football trading season hits full stride
By BOB GREENE
AP Sports Writer
The veterans are heading for Washington in usual, while the 'old man' may finally become president.
Washington Redskins coach George Allen, in an attempt to repair his porous defense by importing proven talent, obtained safety Jake Scott from the Miami Dolphins and defensive end John Matuszak from the Kansas City Chiefs.
BLANDA, WHO joined the NFL in 1948 with the Chicago Bears as the third-string quarterback behind Sid Luckman and Johnny Lujack, has been sitting on the press room watching rookie Fred Steinberg take over the Kaldner kicking chores.
In Oakland, the Raiders reportedly placed the "old man"—48-year-old George Blanda—on waivers as the National Football League teams, with the exception of newcomers Seattle and Tampa Bay, whittled their rosters to 48 players last

"I don't care for being here as an insurance policy in case the other kicker can't
cut it," said Blanda on Monday, speculating that he would be released. "It's been frustrating and discouraging for me after all the years I've helped this team."
Known for his preference of building teams with veterans, Allen obtained Scott and a high draft choice for defensive back Bryant Saint. Then he sent two draft choices—Allen's favorite trading currency—to Kansas City for Matsuzak, a 6-foot-8, 25-power who was the first player chosen in the NFL's 1973 college draft.
Miami, besides sending Scott to the "Over-the-Hill Gang" in Washington, shuffled running back Mercury Morris off to the San Diego Chargers for an undisclosed draft pick. Both Scott and Morris had asked to be traded.
After scoring 2,002 points in 340 games over 26 years, Blanda said it was unlikely any other team would be interested in him. They'd have to "be nuts." he said.
THE REDSKINS' defense, Alien's pride,
has lasted up 80 points. Washings has
lasted 52 points.
Deltips coach Don Shula said yesterday a tentative agreement has been made to
bring veteran Nick Buoniconti on
plagiarized linebacking corps. Miami's iour-
gyline backpedaling.
Also on the business action day of the season so far, Detroit sent running back Altie Taylor to the Houston Oilers for two undisclosed draft choices; Houston picked up running back Joe Dawkins and offensive tackle Dave Simpson from the New York Giants; the Dallas Cowboys sent wide receiver Jalen Meyer to the Los Angeles Rams traded center Ron Kecman and cornerback Gregg Butler to the Philadelphia Eagles.
THE TRIM-DOWN date sent many "name" players into the ranks of the unemployed, through injury-troubled Detroit itself. They have done so with their there by announcing his retirement.
SAN DIEGO lost rookie running back Joe JASWENG, who will undergo surgery for torn knee cartilage. The Chargers' No. 1 pick is expected to be out eight weeks.
Randy Colbert, a defensive back obtained in the veteran allocation draft, was waived by the Seattle Seahawks, while Houston released wide receivers Mike Montgomery and Steve Largent along with punter Leroy Clark.
The Dolphins placed wide receiver Freddie Solomon on the preseason inactive list because of injuries, as did the Chicago Bears with defensive end Roger Stillwell. Shortly after the Lions sent running back to the Oilers, the Detroit running back was discovered in a hospital with what doctors described as "mental fatigue."
