Trade 1 of 2
Miami Dolphins and Tennessee Titans
Miami acquired Russell Price from Houston in August 1971 for a draft choice that was later identified as 1972 tenth-round No. 259 Jimmy Butler. Price did not become a major Dolphins contributor, and the Oilers' late selection did not produce a meaningful long-term return. The modest outcomes on both sides leave the transaction essentially even.

Trade 2 of 2
Miami Dolphins and Tennessee Titans
Houston sent defensive end Russell Price to Miami on November 23, 1971 for the Dolphins' 1972 tenth-round pick, No. 259 overall. The Oilers used the selection on Tulsa tight end Jim Butler, but Pro Football Reference records no NFL regular-season games for Butler. With neither returned asset producing documented regular-season value, Houston's realized return was effectively neutral.
