Detroit Lions and Philadelphia Eagles

Detroit Lions Win Tier: standard Confidence: high

Detroit Lions and Philadelphia Eagles completed this trade on 1971-01-28. Barton did not establish himself as Philadelphia's answer at quarterback and soon left the NFL for Canada. Detroit captured three premium or useful draft assets from a player who delivered almost no Eagles regular-season value. The post-trade results provide the clearest measure of what each club gained from the exchange. The historical return supports a Detroit Lions Win verdict, with Detroit Lions graded A- and Philadelphia Eagles graded D+.
