Denver Broncos and Las Vegas Raiders
Denver acquired Rich Jackson, Ray Schmautz, and Dick Tyson from Oakland for Lionel Taylor and Jerry Sturm. Jackson developed into a cornerstone of the Broncos defense and became the defining long-term asset in the exchange. Oakland received an accomplished receiver in Taylor and a veteran lineman in Sturm, but Sturm left camp and was released during the season, limiting the Raiders' overall return.

Jackson had been one of the Broncos’ first great defenders, but knee trouble had begun to limit him and 1972 became his final NFL season.
