Chronological Timeline
Trade 1 of 3
Tampa Bay Buccaneers received Don Hardeman from Houston Oilers/Tennessee Titans for Anthony Davis (b. 1952-09-08). Don Hardeman supplied the more useful documented return, preserving Tampa Bay's modest advantage.
Trade 2 of 3
The Colts acquired Don Hardeman, who gave Baltimore two seasons of backfield work. He rushed for 244 yards in 1978 and 292 in 1979, useful production but a much smaller return than the multi-year workload Tampa Bay received from Eckwood. The hindsight grade is C+, with the overall verdict recorded as Tampa Bay Buccaneers Win.
