Philadelphia Eagles and Washington Commanders
Philadelphia received Jim Schrader and Ben Scotti, two veterans who provided more than a one-game return and gave the Eagles useful roster value. Neither transformed the franchise, so the gain should not be exaggerated, but the combined service of two incoming players gives Philadelphia a slight edge over Washington's package in a close, veteran-for-veteran exchange.

Minnesota Vikings and Philadelphia Eagles
Minnesota acquired veteran halfback Billy Ray Barnes from Philadelphia for the 1966 20th-round selection that became No. 298 Gerald Circo. Barnes played 16 games with four starts for the Vikings across 1965 and 1966, totaling 199 scrimmage yards and one touchdown. Circo never appeared in an NFL regular-season game, so Minnesota gained the only tangible field value and earns the edge.
