New Orleans Saints and Tennessee Titans
New Orleans Saints Win Tier: standard
Confidence: high
New Orleans traded running back James Ford to Houston on August 1, 1973 for sixth- and tenth-round choices in the 1974 draft. Houston released Ford before the regular season, while the Saints retained two future selections. Because the Oilers received no regular-season contribution and New Orleans recovered two draft assets, the Saints hold a straightforward but still modest hindsight win.
