Chronological Timeline
Trade 1 of 2
Baltimore acquired Eldridge Dickey from Oakland on January 28, 1972 for the Colts' third-round pick, No. 74. Dickey never appeared in a regular-season game for Baltimore. Oakland immediately reused the selection in a draft-day trade with New Orleans to move from No. 39 to No. 33, converting a player leaving its plans into useful draft leverage.
Trade 2 of 2
Baltimore sent Eldridge Dickey to Kansas City on July 23, 1972, for the Chiefs' 1973 third-round pick, later No. 67 overall. The Colts then sent that selection to Cleveland for center Fred Hoaglin; Cleveland used No. 67 on Bob Crum. Dickey never appeared in another NFL game, while Hoaglin played all 14 games for Baltimore in 1973, giving the Colts the better return.
