Rozelle Rule Challenge
At the behest of Rams owner Carroll Rosenbloom, Bryant went to court in 1975 to challenge his transfer to the Detroit Lions under the Pete Rozelle Rule. This came after Rozelle ordered Bryant off the Rams and sent to Detroit as compensation for the Rams signing free agent wide receiver Ron Jessie. After the Judge appeared sympathetic to Bryant's case, the NFL backed off and the Rozelle Rule was subsequently modified.
