Arizona Cardinals and Tennessee Titans
St. Louis/Arizona Cardinals and Houston Oilers/Tennessee Titans completed this trade on 1970-01-21. Farr immediately became a full-time Cardinals starter and intercepted five passes in 1970, then continued starting in 1971 and 1972. Houston received experienced players, but St. Louis secured the most durable high-level post-trade contribution. The post-trade results provide the clearest measure of what each club gained from the exchange. The historical return supports a St. Louis/Arizona Cardinals Win verdict, with St. Louis/Arizona Cardinals graded B+ and Houston Oilers/Tennessee Titans graded C+.
