Trade 1 of 3

Minnesota Vikings and Philadelphia Eagles

Even Trade Tier: standard Confidence: moderate

Minnesota sent quarterback Bill Cappleman to Philadelphia for a 1973 fourth-round pick that became No. 80 overall and Mike Wells. The Eagles did not receive meaningful regular-season production from Cappleman, while Wells likewise failed to develop into a significant Vikings contributor. Minnesota obtained a useful draft chance, but the realized on-field return remained minimal on both sides, making an even C/C result more appropriate than strong grades.
