Chronological Timeline
Trade 1 of 2
Atlanta Falcons received Royce Smith and Dick Palmer from New Orleans Saints for Ken Reaves and Andy Maurer. The recorded outcome favors New Orleans Saints.
Trade 2 of 2
St. Louis acquired veteran defensive back Ken Reaves from New Orleans on October 17, 1974 for the 1975 fourth-round choice that became Charlie Hall at No. 99. Reaves immediately joined the Cardinals and remained there through 1977, intercepting eight passes for St. Louis over those seasons. New Orleans converted the pick into Hall, but the selected player did not match the multi-season defensive contribution Reaves supplied the Cardinals. That balance of realized value gives the edge to Arizona Cardinals / St. Louis Cardinals.
