Indianapolis Colts and San Francisco 49ers
Even Trade Tier: major
Confidence: high
Baltimore acquired veteran guard Elmer Collett from San Francisco in June 1973 for a 1975 third-round draft choice. Collett immediately started every game for the Colts in 1973 and gave a rebuilding offense a dependable veteran presence. The 49ers received future draft value, but the transaction was essentially a straightforward veteran-for-pick exchange.
