Chronological Timeline
Trade 1 of 4
Los Angeles/San Diego Chargers received Ed Philpott from New England Patriots for 1973 seventh round pick (#163) [later traded to Miami Dolphins for Bill Griffin]. The recorded outcome is even.
Trade 2 of 4
Miami acquired linebacker Steve Kiner from New England on August 4, 1972 for offensive tackle Bill Griffin. The historical record supports one Griffin in the exchange, not two separate players. Kiner was waived by Miami before the regular season, while Griffin never produced regular-season NFL value for New England. With neither side realizing meaningful on-field return, this belongs as an even trade.
Trade 3 of 4
Miami traded tackle Wayne Mass to New England on August 28, 1972 for the Patriots' 1973 seventh-round pick, which became No. 160 overall. Miami selected linebacker Kevin Reilly with that choice. Mass played only six games for New England in 1972, while Reilly never played for Miami, making this a modest Dolphins win rather than a major haul.
Trade 4 of 4
New England Patriots received Bill Griffin from Miami Dolphins for 1973 seventh round pick (#163-Benny Shepherd). The recorded outcome favors Miami Dolphins.
