Trade 1 of 1
Chicago Bears and New York Giants
New York acquired guard-center Bob Hyland and veteran cornerback Bennie McRae from Chicago for its 1972 first-round pick, which became No. 3 overall and Lionel Antoine. Hyland gave the Giants several years of line service, while McRae's New York stint was brief. Chicago secured elite draft position, and even Antoine's modest career does not erase the premium value New York surrendered.
