Minnesota Vikings and New York Giants
Minnesota traded Hall of Fame halfback Hugh McElhenny to New York on July 14, 1963, and received two confirmed draft choices: the 1964 fourth-round pick used on Tom Keating and the 1965 second-round pick used on Archie Sutton. McElhenny helped a Giants team reach the 1963 NFL Championship Game, but his New York tenure lasted only one season, leaving Minnesota with the stronger long-term asset return.

Minnesota Vikings
- Pick 1964 fourth-round pick (No. 53, Tom Keating)

Minnesota Vikings and New Orleans Saints
Minnesota received Tom Hall, also known as Tom Hall Francis, from New Orleans in exchange for Archie Sutton during the 1968 football year. Hall immediately gave the Vikings usable receiving production, starting 13 games and catching 19 passes for 268 yards and a touchdown. The surviving record supports that Minnesota contribution clearly, while the downstream value of New Orleans' return is less complete.
