Dallas Cowboys and Kansas City Chiefs
Dallas acquired wide receiver Gloster Richardson from Kansas City in April 1971 for receiver Dennis Homan. Richardson appeared in 11 regular-season games for the Cowboys that year and caught eight passes for 170 yards and three touchdowns. His production was limited in volume but efficient in scoring, and Dallas received the more useful immediate contribution from the veteran-for-veteran swap.

Dallas Cowboys and Las Vegas Raiders
Dallas sent Gloster Richardson to Oakland on July 31, 1972 for a 1974 fourth-round pick that became Ken Hutcherson. Richardson never played a regular-season game for the Raiders, but Oakland moved him to Cleveland six weeks later for another fourth-round pick, No. 93, eventually used on Morris Bradshaw. Bradshaw became a long-term Raider, while Hutcherson played one season in Dallas, giving Oakland the stronger chain.

Cleveland Browns and Las Vegas Raiders
Oakland sent receiver Gloster Richardson to Cleveland on September 11, 1972 for the Browns' 1974 fourth-round selection, later used on Morris Bradshaw. Richardson contributed as a reserve over three Browns seasons, but Bradshaw became a longer-tenured Raiders player and special-teams contributor. Oakland's draft conversion produced the stronger long-term return, though Cleveland did receive useful veteran production.
