Chronological Timeline
Trade 1 of 3
Atlanta Falcons received Frank Molden, John Mallory, John Zook and 1970 fourth round pick (#84-Paul Reed) from Philadelphia Eagles for Jim Purnell. The recorded outcome favors Atlanta Falcons.
Trade 2 of 3
Philadelphia traded running back Izzy Lang to Los Angeles in July 1969 for Harold Jackson and rookie defensive end John Zook. Jackson immediately led the NFL with 1,116 receiving yards, later led the league again in receiving yards and receptions, and became one of the era’s top deep threats. Lang carried the ball once for the Rams and retired after the season. Philadelphia won this exchange overwhelmingly.
Trade 3 of 3
Atlanta acquired guard Greg Kindle and the 1977 first-round choice that became defensive lineman Wilson Faumuina for veteran defensive end John Zook. Kindle's stay was brief, but Faumuina gave the Falcons five seasons and 74 games. That combination supplied Atlanta with more total value than Zook's four solid seasons in St. Louis, though the margin was not overwhelming.
