Chronological Timeline
Trade 1 of 2
The Raiders acquired Ted Davis from New Orleans, but Davis did not provide a meaningful regular-season return for the club. His final NFL action came with Miami in 1970 rather than with the Raiders. With no sustained contribution from the incoming player and New Orleans later receiving useful rookie production from its draft choice, the Raiders realized the weaker side of the exchange and merit a D grade.
Trade 2 of 2
New Orleans acquired defensive lineman Leo Brooks from Houston on August 20, 1973 in a straight player-for-player trade for running back Bob Gresham. Brooks did not become a regular-season Saints contributor and soon moved on, while Gresham immediately started 10 games for the Oilers and produced 400 rushing yards plus 244 receiving yards in 1973. Houston received the clearly stronger first-year return.
