Arizona Cardinals and Philadelphia Eagles
Philadelphia acquired quarterback King Hill from the Cardinals on January 7, 1961, for the Eagles’ 1962 first-round pick, No. 12 overall. Hill became a long-term Eagles backup, spot starter and punter, appearing for Philadelphia across eight seasons. St. Louis used the pick on Irv Goode, who became a 10-year Cardinals offensive-line starter, played 134 games for the franchise and earned two Pro Bowls. The Cardinals received the superior long-term return.

Minnesota Vikings and Philadelphia Eagles
Minnesota acquired veteran quarterback-punter King Hill from Philadelphia for a 1969 third-round pick. The Eagles used No. 69 on Bill Bradley, who became a three-time Pro Bowler, two-time first-team All-Pro and the first player in NFL history to lead the league in interceptions in consecutive seasons. Hill's Vikings stay was brief, making Philadelphia's return dramatically more valuable.

Arizona Cardinals and Minnesota Vikings
St. Louis acquired veteran King Hill from Minnesota for cash on September 10, 1969. Hill was not needed as a starting quarterback, but he appeared in all 14 Cardinals games and became the club’s primary punter, recording 73 punts for 2,746 yards and a 37.6-yard average. For a cash-only acquisition, that immediate special-teams role supplied useful value and gives the Cardinals a modest edge.
