Miami Dolphins and Tennessee Titans
Miami's official trade history records a January 15, 1966 exchange sending linebacker Ron Caveness to Houston for the rights to quarterback Billy Anderson. Caveness had been selected by Miami in the AFL expansion process and was immediately turned into a quarterback-rights asset. Houston wins because Caveness became a multi-season contributor while Miami's rights to Anderson produced little visible return. The Dolphins' expansion context explains the gamble, but the actual career value landed on the Oilers' side.

Miami Dolphins and Tennessee Titans
Miami sent quarterback Billy Anderson to Houston in December 1967 for a 1968 ninth-round pick, No. 240, later used on defensive back Tom Paciorek. Anderson’s NFL career consisted of eight games for the Oilers in 1967, and Paciorek never played an NFL regular-season game. With neither side receiving meaningful post-transaction NFL production, the exchange lands squarely in even territory.

- Pick 1968 ninth round pick (#240-Tom Paciorek)

Los Angeles Rams and Philadelphia Eagles
Los Angeles acquired return specialist Alvin Haymond from Philadelphia for Billy Guy Anderson, Jimmy Raye and a future third-round choice. Haymond supplied productive returning in Los Angeles, while Philadelphia later used the pick in acquiring linebacker Ron Porter. Both clubs received useful football value. An even grade recognizes the Rams' specialist contribution and the Eagles' documented onward compensation.

Los Angeles Rams
- Player Alvin Haymond / Al Haymond
Philadelphia Eagles

- Pick third round pick (probably 1970 #74) [later traded to Indianapolis/Baltimore Colts for Ron Porter]
