Arizona Cardinals and Minnesota Vikings
Minnesota Vikings Win Tier: standard
Confidence: high
Minnesota sent quarterback Gary Cuozzo to St. Louis in 1972 for John Gilliam plus 1973 second- and fourth-round choices. Gilliam immediately produced four strong Vikings seasons, the second-rounder became Jackie Wallace, and Minnesota later used the fourth-round asset to obtain punter Mike Eischeid. Cuozzo struggled in his lone Cardinals season. The volume and quality of Minnesota’s return make this a decisive Vikings win.
Minnesota acquired punter Mike Eischeid from Kansas City on May 25, 1972 for a 1973 fourth-round choice. Eischeid handled the Vikings’ punting for three full seasons, including their 1973 and 1974 playoff runs. Kansas City used pick No. 89 on John Lohmeyer, who played five Chiefs seasons and served three years as a special-teams captain. Both teams received durable, useful value, supporting an even result.
