Trade 2 of 3
Denver acquired Steve Ramsey from New Orleans for the future fourth-round selection that ultimately became No. 83 Tim Kearney after later movement. Ramsey spent six seasons with the Broncos and developed into a multi-year starting quarterback. That sustained direct service gave Denver substantial value, while New Orleans did not retain a comparable payoff from the original draft consideration.
Trade 3 of 3
Denver acquired Craig Morton from the Giants for quarterback Steve Ramsey and a 1978 fifth-round pick. Morton immediately stabilized the Broncos, won major AFC player honors in 1977 and led the franchise to its first Super Bowl appearance. The timing and magnitude of that impact make the trade one of Denver’s most important quarterback moves.
