Chicago Bears and Philadelphia Eagles
Philadelphia Eagles Win Tier: standard
Confidence: high
Chicago Bears and Philadelphia Eagles completed this trade on 1971-09-13. Pinder gave Chicago two seasons of usable rushing production, so the Bears did not come away empty. Philadelphia nevertheless converted one veteran back into two meaningful draft assets, including a second-round selection. The post-trade results provide the clearest measure of what each club gained from the exchange. The historical return supports a Philadelphia Eagles Win verdict, with Chicago Bears graded C+ and Philadelphia Eagles graded B.
Philadelphia Eagles Win Tier: major
Confidence: high
Baltimore traded running back Norm Bulaich to Philadelphia for the 1973 fourth-round pick used on Gery Palmer and the 1974 second-round pick used on Ed Shuttlesworth. Bulaich immediately gave the Eagles substantial rushing and receiving work, while the Colts' return produced little realized value; Shuttlesworth never played for Baltimore. The original Colts-win direction therefore needs to be reversed in Philadelphia's favor.
Miami Dolphins Win Tier: standard
Confidence: high
Miami acquired Norm Bulaich from Philadelphia for a 1976 fourth-round pick and received five seasons from the veteran back. Bulaich scored 10 total touchdowns in his first Dolphins season and remained a regular contributor through 1979. Philadelphia used the No. 111 selection on defensive end Mike Smith, who never appeared in an NFL regular-season game. Miami clearly realized more value.
