Trade 1 of 2
Atlanta Falcons and Washington Commanders
Washington acquired the rights to defensive tackle Glenn Hyde from Atlanta in March 1975 for two draft choices. Atlanta historical material confirms the two-pick price, with later ledgers identifying a 1978 eighth-round selection and tentatively linking the other to a 1976 eighth. Hyde did not become a regular-season contributor for Washington, so the Falcons win C+ to D+ by extracting draft value from an asset that did not pay off.
Assets Received
Washington Commanders
- Other rights to Glenn Hyde
Atlanta Falcons
- Pick possibly 1976 eighth round pick (#227-Art Meadowcroft)
- Pick 1978 eighth round pick (#216-David Williams / Dave Williams)

New York Jets and Seattle Seahawks
New York Jets received Jermaine Kearse, 2018 2nd round pick (49th overall subsequently traded, Dallas Goedert), 2018 7th round pick (235th overall subsequently traded, Zaire Franklin) in the 2017-09-01 exchange with Seattle Seahawks. Seattle acquired Sheldon Richardson and a seventh-round choice from the Jets for Jermaine Kearse, a 2018 second-round choice and a 2018 seventh-round choice. The supported outcome gives New York Jets a B grade. The overall verdict is New York Jets Win, based on the direct football and draft value actually realized after the trade.
