Trade 1 of 2
Green Bay Packers and Tennessee Titans
Green Bay acquired quarterback Lynn Dickey from Houston for John Hadl, Ken Ellis, two draft choices and cash. The package was substantial, but Dickey became the Packers' primary quarterback for much of nine seasons and one of the franchise's most productive passers of his era. That sustained value makes Green Bay the winner despite the steep price.

Miami Dolphins and Tennessee Titans
Miami acquired veteran cornerback Ken Ellis from Houston during the 1976 season and received a short-term defensive contributor. Ellis appeared in 12 games with five starts for the Dolphins. The cost became much more significant when Houston used Miami's 1977 third-round choice on Jimmie Giles and also held a fourth-round selection, giving the Oilers the stronger return.
