Cincinnati Bengals and New Orleans Saints
Even Trade Tier: standard
Confidence: high
Cincinnati sent tight end Mike Kelly to New Orleans for a future 1974 sixth-round pick, which became No. 153 and was used on William 'Bill' Bryant. Kelly appeared in only one Saints game in 1973, while Bryant did not become a Bengals regular-season contributor. Neither club extracted meaningful direct value, so the transaction is best graded as even.
