Buffalo Bills and Miami Dolphins
Buffalo Bills Win Tier: major
Confidence: high
Buffalo acquired Miami's 1973 first-round pick, No. 26, and linebacker Dale Farley for wide receiver Marlin Briscoe and defensive lineman Jim Dunaway. The Bills used No. 26 on Hall of Fame guard Joe DeLamielleure. Miami still received meaningful championship-era value from Briscoe, but Buffalo secured the best long-term player and a franchise cornerstone from the exchange.
St. Louis acquired Marlin Briscoe and Hubie Ginn from Miami, while the Dolphins received Donny Anderson plus separate compensation tied to tight end Jim McFarland. The principal pieces produced little for their new clubs: Briscoe was moved again before the season, and Anderson retired in August without playing for Miami. The limited realized value makes this effectively even.
New England Patriots Win Tier: minor
Confidence: high
Minnesota Vikings received Doug Dumler from New England Patriots for 1976 eighth round pick (#235-Stu Betts) and 1977 sixth round pick (#166) [later traded to Detroit Lions for Marlin Briscoe]. The recorded outcome favors New England Patriots.
Detroit Lions acquired 1977 sixth round pick (#166-Reggie Pinkney) from New England Patriots for Marlin Briscoe. Detroit Lions received the stronger recorded football value, matching the Detroit Lions Win verdict.
