Dallas Cowboys and Minnesota Vikings
Dallas Cowboys Win Tier: standard
Confidence: high
Dallas Cowboys received Lance Rentzel from Minnesota Vikings for 1968 third round pick (#76-Mike McGill). Rentzel became a major Dallas deep threat, topping 950 receiving yards in 1968 and 1969 and catching 12 touchdowns in 1969. Across the complete player and draft outcomes, the exchange supports the Dallas Cowboys Win verdict while still crediting the other club for the useful value it realized.
Minnesota acquired tight end Bob Brown and cornerback Nate Wright from St. Louis for Mike McGill, Dale Hackbart and a future fourth-round choice. Wright became the decisive asset: he developed into a durable starter for Minnesota’s championship-era defenses, while Brown supplied short-term depth. The Cardinals received only modest playing value from McGill and Hackbart, leaving Minnesota with the stronger realized return.
Arizona Cardinals Win Tier: standard
Confidence: high
St. Louis acquired defensive back Jim Tolbert from Houston for linebackers Mike McGill and Jim Hargrove on April 24, 1973. Tolbert immediately started 13 games for the Cardinals and remained there for three seasons, while McGill and Hargrove did not record an NFL season after 1972. That direct post-trade production makes the Cardinals the clear winner.
