Arizona Cardinals and New Orleans Saints
New Orleans Saints Win Tier: standard
Confidence: high
St. Louis acquired John Gilliam from New Orleans and immediately unlocked a major offensive season: 52 catches, 997 yards, and nine touchdowns in 1969. The Cardinals paid Dave Long, Dick Kasperek, Brady Keys, and the second-round pick that became Richard Neal. Gilliam was clearly the best individual performer in the deal, but surrendering three veterans plus a second-rounder made the acquisition expensive.
Washington received Dave Long and draft pick (possibly 1970 #103-Paul Laaveg) from New Orleans Saints for Jim Ninowski. The recorded outcome does not show enough separation to identify a clear winner.
New Orleans Saints Win Tier: minor
Confidence: medium
Buffalo Bills received Dave Long from New Orleans Saints for undisclosed draft pick (possibly 1975 #149-Mike Lemon). The recorded outcome favors New Orleans Saints.
