Chronological Timeline
Trade 1 of 2
Pittsburgh Steelers received John Smith (c)? from New England Patriots for 1974 tenth round pick (selection not identified). The recorded outcome does not show enough separation to identify a clear winner.
Trade 2 of 2
Denver acquired receiver Otto Stowe from Dallas on September 5, 1974 for a 1976 third-round choice that became John Smith at No. 75. Stowe's Denver stay was brief: eight games, two catches, nine receiving yards and one touchdown in 1974. Dallas received valuable draft position in theory, but Smith did not produce an NFL career for the Cowboys after being selected with the acquired pick. That balance of realized value gives the edge to Denver Broncos.
