Dallas Cowboys and New Orleans Saints
Dallas Cowboys Win Tier: standard
Confidence: high
New Orleans acquired Joe Williams from Dallas on January 31, 1972, while the Cowboys received the fourth-round choice that became linebacker Tim Kearney at No. 83. Williams appeared for the Saints that season, but Dallas converted the outgoing player into useful draft value. Kearney did not stick with the Cowboys long term, so the advantage is real but appropriately modest.
