Baltimore agreed in August 1975 to send tackle Dennis Nelson to Washington for a multi-pick package, but Nelson never reported to the Redskins. Contemporary Philadelphia material and later transaction records show that the deal was negated, Nelson's rights returned to the Colts, and he sat out the 1975 season. The listed draft choices therefore were not completed trade proceeds.
Indianapolis/Baltimore Colts received Bill Troup from Philadelphia Eagles for Dennis Nelson and undisclosed draft pick (selection not identified). The recorded outcome does not show enough separation to identify a clear winner.
