Indianapolis Colts and New York Giants
Indianapolis/Baltimore Colts Win Tier: minor
Confidence: medium
New York Giants received undisclosed consideration, Charlie Johnson, Barry Brown and "high draft choice" (not exercised) (replaced by George Wilson / Butch Wilson on 09-02) from Indianapolis/Baltimore Colts for undisclosed consideration, undisclosed terms (details not specified in source record), Henry Carr and Earl Morrall. The recorded outcome favors Indianapolis/Baltimore Colts.
St. Louis/Arizona Cardinals Win Tier: standard
Confidence: high
St. Louis/Arizona Cardinals and Houston Oilers/Tennessee Titans completed this trade on 1970-01-21. Farr immediately became a full-time Cardinals starter and intercepted five passes in 1970, then continued starting in 1971 and 1972. Houston received experienced players, but St. Louis secured the most durable high-level post-trade contribution. The post-trade results provide the clearest measure of what each club gained from the exchange. The historical return supports a St. Louis/Arizona Cardinals Win verdict, with St. Louis/Arizona Cardinals graded B+ and Houston Oilers/Tennessee Titans graded C+.
Denver Broncos Win Tier: standard
Confidence: high
Denver acquired quarterback Charley Johnson from Houston for a 1973 third-round choice on August 16, 1972. Johnson became the Broncos’ primary quarterback and led the franchise to its first winning season in 1973. Houston later dealt the acquired pick to Baltimore, which selected Bill Olds at No. 61. Denver’s direct multi-season quarterback value makes this a strong Broncos win.
Minnesota Vikings Win Tier: standard
Confidence: high
Minnesota traded its 1983 second-round pick to Philadelphia for defensive tackle Charlie Johnson in August 1982. Johnson became an immediate Vikings starter, making 38 starts across three seasons and recording six sacks in the portion of his career with modern sack data. Philadelphia used No. 46 on linebacker Jody Schulz, who played 44 games for the Eagles but had a much smaller defensive role. Minnesota received the stronger team-specific value.
