The Tampa Bay Bandits of the United States Football League have traded linebacker Sammy Green to the New Jersey Generals in return for an undisclosed 1984 draft pick.

Green, who played for the University of Florida, was a second-round draft pick of the Seattle Seahawks in 1976 before playing briefly with Vancouver in the CFL.


The Bandits also signed free agent offensive guard Steve Gettel, who was with the Tampa Bay Buccaneers of the NFL in 1981-82. Gettel left the Bucs the first year because of an ankle problem from his college days, and was on injured reserve the second year with a hyperextended knee before he eventually was waived.
