Cincinnati Bengals and Minnesota Vikings
Cincinnati Bengals Win Tier: standard
Confidence: high
Minnesota acquired guard Steve Lawson plus Cincinnati's 1975 fourth-round pick, while the Bengals received Minnesota's 1974 fourth- and 1975 third-round choices. Lawson became a multi-year Vikings lineman, but Cincinnati converted its picks into Richard Williams and linebacker Bo Harris. Both sides gained usable value, with the Bengals' two-pick return giving Cincinnati the narrow overall edge.
Chicago acquired defensive end Royce Berry from Cincinnati in May 1976 and sent a future fifth-round choice that eventually became No. 131 Rob Hertel. Berry gave the Bears 12 appearances and two starts that season. Hertel appeared in only three games for Cincinnati in 1978, so Chicago receives a narrow edge on the direct transaction.
