Trade 1 of 4
Buffalo Bills received Jim Cheyunski, Halvor Hagen, and Mike Montler from New England Patriots for Edgar Chandler, Jeff Lyman, and Wayne Patrick. The recorded outcome does not show enough separation to identify a clear winner.
Trade 2 of 4
Denver acquired center Mike Montler from Buffalo for a 1979 second-round pick.
