Chronological Timeline
Trade 1 of 2
Indianapolis/Baltimore Colts received Ray May and 1971 twelfth round pick (#294-Bob Wuensch / Bobby Wuensch) from Pittsburgh Steelers for Preston Pearson and Ocie Austin. The recorded outcome favors Pittsburgh Steelers.
Trade 2 of 2
Denver acquired linebacker Ray May from Baltimore on October 3, 1973 for 1974 third- and eighth-round picks. May became a useful Broncos starter for three seasons, but Baltimore used the third-rounder on guard Robert Pratt, who developed into a long-term Colts lineman with 170 career games. Denver received solid value; Pratt's sustained impact gives Baltimore the stronger return.
