Cincinnati Bengals and New England Patriots
Cincinnati Bengals Win Tier: standard
Confidence: high
Cincinnati sent linebacker Bill Peterson to New England for a future fourth-round pick that became No. 87 in 1974. The Bengals used the slot on Mike Boryla and then converted Boryla's rights into additional future draft capital before he played for Cincinnati. Peterson did not provide New England comparable regular-season value, giving the Bengals the stronger asset-conversion result.
Cincinnati Bengals Win Tier: major
Confidence: high
Cincinnati traded quarterback Mike Boryla to Philadelphia for two future draft choices, which became 1975 sixth-rounder Tom Shuman and 1976 first-rounder Billy Brooks. Bengals historical material supports the two-pick package and does not require the cash previously attached to this record. Boryla had a useful stretch in Philadelphia, including a 1975 Pro Bowl selection, but Cincinnati's first-round return ultimately gives the Bengals the edge.
