New England Patriots and Washington Commanders

Washington Commanders Win Tier: standard Confidence: high

Washington acquired linebacker Brad Dusek and a 1974 third-round pick from New England for Donnel Smith and a 1974 seventh-round pick. Dusek became an eight-season Washington fixture, while the third-round choice retained additional trade value. New England's seventh-rounder became Maury Damkroger, whose Patriots career lasted 13 games, creating a clear Washington advantage.
