Trade 1 of 3

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.

Trade 2 of 3

Indianapolis Colts and Philadelphia Eagles

Philadelphia Eagles Win Tier: major Confidence: high

Baltimore sent running back Norm Bulaich to Philadelphia for a 1973 fourth-round selection and a 1974 second-round choice. The Colts used those picks on Gery Palmer and Ed Shuttlesworth, but neither produced comparable Baltimore value. Bulaich immediately became a significant Eagles contributor, combining rushing and receiving work across the 1973 season and remaining with Philadelphia in 1974.

Assets Received

Indianapolis Colts
  • Pick 1973 fourth round pick (#83-Gery Palmer)
  • Pick 1974 second round pick (#37-Ed Shuttlesworth)

Miami Dolphins and Philadelphia Eagles

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.

Assets Received

  • Player Norm Bulaich
