Dallas Cowboys and Kansas City Chiefs

Dallas Cowboys Win Tier: standard Confidence: high

Dallas traded the rights to offensive lineman John Kelsey to Kansas City for an undisclosed draft choice in July 1976. Kelsey had been a Cowboys fifth-round selection in 1974 but never appeared in a regular-season NFL game. Recovering any draft value from his rights gave Dallas the better side of an otherwise small transaction.
