Some thought he won the starting job in 1970 however they gave the job to Jethro Pugh who had a 2” height advantage. Ron Asked for a trade after the conclusion of the 1970 season and it was granted. He and two other players went to the San Diego Chargers for Lance Alworth in 1971. Tom Landry later said "Ron East was the most aggressive player he ever coached". Ron went on to be a Defensive standout for the San Diego Chargers and the Seattle Seahawks. He was noted for solidifying the legacy of Earl Morrall when Ron and Deacon Jones sacked Bob Griese in game 5 of the 1972 Miami Dolphins Perfect Season.
