Philadelphia Eagles and Pittsburgh Steelers
Philadelphia acquired Gary Ballman from Pittsburgh and received several productive seasons from the veteran receiver. Ballman gave the Eagles legitimate value and remained a useful offensive piece after the trade. Pittsburgh, however, received Earl Gros, Bruce Van Dyke, and the 1967 third-round pick used on Rockne Freitas, creating a broader package with more long-term value.

Green Bay Packers and Pittsburgh Steelers
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.
Assets Received
Pittsburgh Steelers
- Pick 1976 third round pick (#70-Ron Coder)
