Cincinnati Bengals and New England Patriots
Cincinnati sent linebacker Bill Peterson to New England for a future fourth-round selection that became No. 87 in 1974. The Bengals used the pick on Mike Boryla and later moved Boryla's rights for additional future compensation before he played for Cincinnati. Peterson did not provide New England comparable regular-season value, allowing the Bengals to preserve and redirect the more useful asset.
Assets Received
Cincinnati Bengals
- Pick 1974 fourth round pick (#87-Mike Boryla)
