Chicago Bears and Dallas Cowboys

Chicago Bears Win Tier: standard Confidence: high

Dallas acquired the rights to quarterback Jack Concannon from Chicago on August 17, 1972 and sent Bill Line, Bob Asher and a 1973 second-round pick to the Bears. Concannon never appeared in a Cowboys regular-season game. Asher immediately became a multi-year Chicago starter, Line started on the 1972 defensive front, and pick No. 48 produced Gary Hrivnak. Chicago won the exchange decisively.
