Cincinnati Bengals and Philadelphia Eagles
Even Trade Tier: standard
Confidence: high
Cincinnati sent Speedy Thomas to Philadelphia for defensive tackle Jerry Ellison on July 9, 1973. Contemporary reporting confirms the Eagles as the trade partner, but Thomas was released before Philadelphia's regular season and later played for New Orleans. Ellison did not create a documented Bengals regular-season contribution. With neither acquiring club receiving meaningful direct production, the exchange grades even.
