Atlanta Falcons and Minnesota Vikings
Atlanta acquired quarterback Ron VanderKelen from Minnesota for two future draft choices. VanderKelen had been a reserve for the Vikings, and Atlanta did not receive a long-term return that matched the value Minnesota created from the picks. The Vikings used the 1968 seventh-round selection on Oscar Reed and the 1969 fifth-round selection on Jim Barnes, turning one reserve quarterback into two roster opportunities.
