Chronological Timeline
Trade 1 of 4
Baltimore acquired kicker George Hunt from Cleveland on January 30, 1973 for the fourth-round pick used on Andy Dorris. Hunt handled the Colts' kicking job for all 14 games in 1973. Cleveland drafted Dorris but traded him before the regular season, later receiving a 1974 seventh-round pick. Baltimore gained the stronger immediate football return.
Trade 2 of 4
St. Louis received four 1973 games from Andy Dorris and later retained enough value to trade him again. That modest but real return beats Cleveland's non-playing draft selection. The grade remains tied to documented value for the acquiring club, without assigning credit for unresolved or hypothetical downstream consideration.
Trade 3 of 4
New Orleans acquired defensive end Andy Dorris from St. Louis for the 1975 eighth-round pick used on John Adams. Dorris became a meaningful Saints contributor, playing 42 games from 1974 through 1976 and starting 21 of them. Adams never appeared in an NFL regular-season game, so the Saints received far more realized football value from the exchange.
Trade 4 of 4
New Orleans traded defensive end Andy Dorris to Seattle on September 6, 1977, for an eleventh-round pick in the 1978 draft, No. 285 overall. The Saints selected running back Dave Riley, who did not appear in an NFL regular-season game. Dorris played four games and started once for Seattle, giving the Seahawks a small but measurable edge in realized value.
