Minnesota Vikings and San Francisco 49ers
Minnesota acquired running back Sammy Johnson from San Francisco for wide receiver Jim Lash during the 1976 season. Johnson stayed with the Vikings longer than Lash remained with the 49ers, but his offensive production was modest. Minnesota gained useful depth without finding a major difference-maker, leaving the exchange close to balanced.
