New England Patriots and Pittsburgh Steelers
Pittsburgh traded tight end Bob Adams to New England on May 16, 1973 for a conditional 1974 seventh- or eighth-round pick tied to Adams' playing time. The condition ultimately resolved to New England's seventh-round pick, No. 165, which Pittsburgh used on tackle Allen Sitterle. Adams gave the Patriots 25 regular-season games and 12 starts over 1973-74, while Sitterle never appeared in an NFL regular-season game.
Assets Received

- Pick 1974 seventh-round pick (#165-Allen Sitterle; originally conditional seventh/eighth based on Adams playing time)

New England Patriots and Tennessee Titans
New England Patriots received 1976 seventh round pick (#202-Perry Brooks) from Tennessee Titans. New England used the seventh-round choice on Perry Brooks, but Brooks did not supply the Patriots meaningful regular-season value. That realized return supports a D grade for New England Patriots. The final verdict is Even Trade, based on the regular-season service and draft value each club actually received after the exchange.
