Chronological Timeline
Trade 1 of 2
Los Angeles/San Diego Chargers received Eddie Ray from New England Patriots for 1972 seventh round pick (#166-John Tarver). The recorded outcome favors New England Patriots.
Trade 2 of 2
Denver sent defensive tackle Dave Costa to San Diego on August 1, 1972 for running back Eddie Ray and a 1973 third-round choice used on John Wood. Ray never produced a Broncos regular-season appearance, and Wood never played for Denver. Costa, by contrast, started all 28 Chargers games across 1972 and 1973. San Diego therefore received the clearly superior realized return.
