Los Angeles Rams and Philadelphia Eagles
Los Angeles acquired return specialist Alvin Haymond from Philadelphia for Billy Guy Anderson, Jimmy Raye and a future third-round choice. Haymond supplied productive returning in Los Angeles, while Philadelphia later used the pick in acquiring linebacker Ron Porter. Both clubs received useful football value. An even grade recognizes the Rams' specialist contribution and the Eagles' documented onward compensation.

Indianapolis Colts and Philadelphia Eagles
Baltimore traded linebacker Ron Porter to Philadelphia for the 1970 third-round pick used on Ara Person. Person never played a regular-season game for the Colts and later appeared in only four NFL games with St. Louis. Porter, meanwhile, remained with Philadelphia through 1972 and contributed as a regular defender. The pick was real value in theory, but Baltimore failed to convert it into production.
Assets Received
Indianapolis Colts
- Pick 1970 third round pick (#74-Ara Person)
Philadelphia Eagles

Minnesota Vikings and Philadelphia Eagles
Minnesota acquired linebacker Ron Porter from Philadelphia for a 1974 fifth-round selection that became pick No. 128. Porter appeared in 13 games for the Vikings in 1973 and provided one season of defensive depth without developing into a long-term starter. Philadelphia later moved the acquired selection onward rather than turning the slot directly into a lasting Eagles contributor.
Assets Received
Minnesota Vikings
- Player Ron Porter
Philadelphia Eagles
- Pick 1974 fifth round pick (#128-Monroe Eley)
