Trade 1 of 5
Dallas Cowboys and New England Patriots
Dallas and New England initially announced a larger 1971 exchange involving Duane Thomas, Carl Garrett, Halvor Hagen, Honor Jackson and a Patriots first-round pick, but that structure was partially unwound. Thomas stayed in Dallas and Garrett stayed in New England. The completed exchange sent Hagen and Jackson to New England for 1972 second- and third-round choices, which Dallas used on Robert Newhouse and Mike Keller.
Assets Received
Dallas Cowboys
- Pick 1972 second round pick (#35-Robert Newhouse)
- Pick 1972 third round pick (#64-Mike Keller)
New England Patriots
- Player Halvor Hagen
- Player Honor Jackson

Trade 2 of 5
Dallas Cowboys and New England Patriots
The extraordinary 1971 Dallas-New England deal was partially unwound days after the original exchange. Duane Thomas returned to Dallas and Carl Garrett returned to New England, while the Patriots retained Halvor Hagen and Honor Jackson in return for New England's 1972 second- and third-round choices. Dallas used those picks on Robert Newhouse and Mike Keller. Thomas then helped the Cowboys win Super Bowl VI, creating the stronger final outcome.
Assets Received
Dallas Cowboys
- Player Duane Thomas (returned to Dallas in partial rescission)
- Pick 1972 second-round pick (No. 35, Robert Newhouse)
- Pick 1972 third-round pick (No. 64, Mike Keller)
New England Patriots
- Player Carl Garrett (returned to New England in partial rescission)
- Player Halvor Hagen (retained by New England)
- Player Honor Jackson (retained by New England)
Team Grades
Trade 3 of 5
Buffalo Bills and New England Patriots
Buffalo acquired Jim Cheyunski, Halvor Hagen and Mike Montler. Cheyunski became an immediate starting linebacker and team leader, while Hagen and Montler added further veteran service. Montler in particular had a long NFL career as an offensive lineman. The combined usefulness of three incoming veterans gives Buffalo the clearly stronger direct return from this six-player exchange.
Assets Received
Buffalo Bills
- Player Jim Cheyunski
- Player Halvor Hagen
- Player Mike Montler
New England Patriots
- Player Edgar Chandler
- Player Jeff Lyman
- Player Wayne Patrick

Trade 4 of 5
Buffalo Bills and Los Angeles Chargers
Buffalo Bills received 1976 ninth round pick (#241-Jeff Turner), while Los Angeles Chargers received Halvor Hagen. San Diego acquired Halvor Hagen while Buffalo received ninth-round No. 241, Jeff Turner. The supported history provides enough detail to judge the exchange without overstating uncertain downstream information. Buffalo Bills earns a C- grade, and the overall verdict is Even Trade.
Assets Received
Buffalo Bills
- Pick 1976 ninth round pick (#241-Jeff Turner)
Los Angeles Chargers
- Player Halvor Hagen

Trade 5 of 5
Los Angeles Chargers and New Orleans Saints
Los Angeles Chargers received a 1977 ninth-round pick from New Orleans Saints in the 1976-08-10 trade; the exact selection remains unresolved. New Orleans received Halvor Hagen but released him before a regular-season appearance. San Diego therefore realized a late-round draft asset while New Orleans received no regular-season player value. That supports Chargers C+, Saints D, and a Chargers win.
Assets Received
Los Angeles Chargers
- Pick 1977 ninth round pick (exact selection unresolved)
New Orleans Saints
- Player Halvor Hagen
