Trade 1 of 6
Dallas Cowboys and New England Patriots
Dallas and New England initially announced a larger 1971 exchange involving Duane Thomas, Carl Garrett, Halvor Hagen, Honor Jackson and a Patriots first-round pick, but that structure was partially unwound. Thomas stayed in Dallas and Garrett stayed in New England. The completed exchange sent Hagen and Jackson to New England for 1972 second- and third-round choices, which Dallas used on Robert Newhouse and Mike Keller.
Assets Received
Dallas Cowboys
- Pick 1972 second round pick (#35-Robert Newhouse)
- Pick 1972 third round pick (#64-Mike Keller)

Dallas Cowboys and New England Patriots
The extraordinary 1971 Dallas-New England deal was partially unwound days after the original exchange. Duane Thomas returned to Dallas and Carl Garrett returned to New England, while the Patriots retained Halvor Hagen and Honor Jackson in return for New England's 1972 second- and third-round choices. Dallas used those picks on Robert Newhouse and Mike Keller. Thomas then helped the Cowboys win Super Bowl VI, creating the stronger final outcome.
Assets Received
Dallas Cowboys
- Player Duane Thomas (returned to Dallas in partial rescission)
- Pick 1972 second-round pick (No. 35, Robert Newhouse)
- Pick 1972 third-round pick (No. 64, Mike Keller)

Chicago Bears and New England Patriots
Chicago acquired running back Carl Garrett from New England for the 1973 first-round pick used on Darryl Stingley. Garrett gave the Bears two productive seasons, including 655 rushing yards in 1973, while Stingley produced 1,883 receiving yards and 14 touchdowns across five Patriots seasons. Both sides received real value, with New England earning the narrow edge.

Trade 4 of 6
Chicago Bears and Detroit Lions
Detroit moved up from the No. 19 pick to No. 17 and also gained the No. 58 choice, sending tight end Craig Cotton to Chicago in the exchange. The Bears did not actually draft Darryl Stingley with No. 19; they moved that pick to New England for running back Carl Garrett, and the Patriots selected Stingley. Garrett's productive 1973 season gives Chicago the stronger realized return.
Assets Received
Detroit Lions
- Pick 1973 first round pick (#17-Earnest Price)
- Pick 1973 third round pick (#58-John Brady)
Chicago Bears
- Player Craig Cotton
- Pick 1973 first round pick (#19; traded to New England for Carl Garrett; Patriots selected Darryl Stingley)

Chicago Bears and New York Jets
The Jets acquired Carl Garrett from Chicago for Mike Adamle, the rights to Ron Rydalch, and a 1976 fourth-round pick. Garrett delivered 566 rushing yards, 180 receiving yards, and five rushing touchdowns in his lone Jets season. Adamle gave Chicago 353 rushing yards in 1975 and another season of depth, while the fourth-round asset retained trade value. The split return makes the deal essentially even.
Assets Received
New York Jets
- Player Carl Garrett
Chicago Bears
- Player Mike Adamle
- Other rights to Ron Rydalch
- Pick 1976 fourth round pick (#98-Melvin Mitchell / Mel Mitchell)

Las Vegas Raiders and New York Jets
Oakland acquired Steve Tannen and Carl Garrett from the Jets in July 1976 for two 1977 draft selections: No. 195 Kevin Long and No. 307 Dave Butterfield. The Raiders turned a seventh and an eleventh into two veteran players, while New York chose future draft opportunities. Oakland's immediate two-player return carries the stronger practical value and earns the win.
Assets Received
Las Vegas Raiders
- Player Steve Tannen
- Player Carl Garrett
New York Jets
- Pick 1977 seventh round pick (#195-Kevin Long)
- Pick 1977 eleventh round pick (#307-Dave Butterfield)
