Trade 1 of 2
Dallas Cowboys and New Orleans Saints
New Orleans acquired Margene Adkins from Dallas on February 1, 1972, and the Cowboys received the second-round pick used on linebacker John Babinecz at No. 39. Adkins offered the Saints veteran receiving depth, but Dallas turned the exchange into a player who appeared in 26 games over two Cowboys seasons. That stronger and more durable return gives Dallas the clear hindsight edge.
Assets Received

Dallas Cowboys

New Orleans Saints and New York Jets
New Orleans acquired Bob Davis, punter Steve O'Neal and a 1974 fourth-round choice from the Jets for Julian Fagan, Margene Adkins and a 1974 eighth-round selection on June 5, 1973. O'Neal immediately became the Saints' punter, and the higher draft choice gave New Orleans the stronger asset package. The Saints earn the edge even though neither side created a major long-term centerpiece.
