Chronological Timeline
Trade 1 of 3
Washington received Richard Absher / Dick Absher from Philadelphia Eagles for cash. The recorded outcome favors Washington.
Trade 2 of 3
Atlanta sent Dick Absher and a 1969 sixth-round pick to the Rams for the fourth-round selection used on tight end Jim Mitchell. Mitchell became one of the best early players in Falcons history, starting all 155 games of his 11-year Atlanta career, catching 305 passes for 4,358 yards and 28 touchdowns, and earning two Pro Bowl selections. The return dwarfed what Los Angeles received, making this an overwhelming Falcons win.
Trade 3 of 3
Philadelphia acquired linebacker Dick Absher from New Orleans on September 15, 1972 for the 1975 fourth-round choice later used on John Starkebaum at No. 92. Absher played eight games for the Eagles and recorded an interception. Starkebaum suffered a major knee injury in his first Saints training camp and never played an NFL regular-season game, giving Philadelphia the slight hindsight advantage.
