Chronological Timeline
Trade 1 of 3
Buffalo Bills received Joe Auer from Kansas City Chiefs for 1965 "high" draft pick (probably #16-Ronnie Caveness OR #32-Frank Pitts) / cash. The recorded outcome does not show enough separation to identify a clear winner.
Trade 2 of 3
On 1971-09-08, Cleveland Browns and Kansas City Chiefs completed a deal that sent Frank Pitts to Cleveland Browns and 1972 fourth round pick (#97-Andy Hamilton), 1973 third round pick (#72-Paul Krause (b)) to Kansas City Chiefs. Pitts became a productive Cleveland starter, including 620 receiving yards and eight touchdowns in 1972. Kansas City's resulting draft assets did not match that immediate multi-season production, making Cleveland the stronger realized return. That realized value supports a Cleveland Browns Win verdict, with Cleveland Browns graded B+ and Kansas City Chiefs graded C.
Trade 3 of 3
Oakland/Las Vegas Raiders received Frank Pitts from Cleveland Browns for 1975 sixth round pick (#154-Henry Hynoski / Harry Hynoski (Sr.)). The recorded outcome does not show enough separation to identify a clear winner.
