Dallas Cowboys Win Tier: major
Confidence: high
Dallas and New England initially announced a larger 1971 deal involving Duane Thomas, Carl Garrett and a Patriots first-round pick, but that structure did not stand. The final transaction left Thomas in Dallas and Garrett in New England. The Patriots kept Halvor Hagen and Honor Jackson, while Dallas received New England's 1972 second- and third-round choices, used on Robert Newhouse and Mike Keller.

→ New England Patriots Win Tier: standard
Confidence: high
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.
Assets Received

→ Chicago Bears Win Tier: major
Confidence: high
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
- Pick 1973 first round pick (#17-Earnest Price)
- Pick 1973 third round pick (#58-John Brady)
- Player Craig Cotton
- Pick 1973 first round pick (#19; traded to New England for Carl Garrett; Patriots selected Darryl Stingley)

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
- Player Mike Adamle
- Other rights to Ron Rydalch
- Pick 1976 fourth round pick (#98-Melvin Mitchell / Mel Mitchell)
