Philadelphia Eagles and Pittsburgh Steelers
Pittsburgh Steelers Win Tier: standard
Confidence: high
Philadelphia Eagles received Gary Ballman from Pittsburgh Steelers for Earl Gros, Bruce Van Dyke, and 1967 third round pick (#73-Rockne Freitas / Rocky Freitas). Gary Ballman remained a productive Philadelphia receiver for several seasons, giving the Eagles legitimate value. Across the complete player and draft outcomes, the exchange supports the Pittsburgh Steelers Win verdict while still crediting the other club for the useful value it realized.
Pittsburgh Steelers Win Tier: standard
Confidence: high
Green Bay acquired veteran guard Bruce Van Dyke. Pittsburgh received the 1976 third-round selection that became Ron Coder at No. 70, preserving meaningful draft value from a veteran the Steelers were willing to move. Van Dyke gave Green Bay an experienced lineman, so the Packers received real utility. Pittsburgh's ability to recover a third-round choice while maintaining its championship core gives the Steelers the stronger long-term side.
