Dallas Cowboys and Minnesota Vikings
Dallas acquired Lance Rentzel from Minnesota for the 1968 third-round pick that became No. 76. Rentzel developed into a major Cowboys deep threat, topping 950 receiving yards in both 1968 and 1969 and catching 12 touchdowns in 1969. Minnesota used the pick on linebacker Mike McGill, but his return did not approach Rentzel's sustained production, giving Dallas the clear advantage.

Arizona Cardinals and Minnesota Vikings
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 and Tennessee Titans
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.
