Indianapolis Colts and New York Jets
New York Jets Win Tier: standard
Confidence: high
Baltimore traded defensive lineman Jim Bailey to the New York Jets on January 28, 1975, for a fourth-round selection in that spring’s draft. The Colts used the pick at No. 93 on Paul Linford, who did not produce regular-season value for Baltimore. Bailey, by contrast, appeared in all 14 games for the Jets in 1975 and started eight, giving New York the clearly better immediate return.
Indianapolis Colts Win Tier: minor
Confidence: medium
Indianapolis/Baltimore Colts received 1976 fourth round pick (probably not exercised?) from Green Bay Packers for Paul Linford. The recorded outcome favors Indianapolis/Baltimore Colts.
