Minnesota Vikings and Philadelphia Eagles
Minnesota acquired veteran quarterback Norm Snead from Philadelphia for tackle Steve Smith and three draft choices: a 1971 second, 1971 sixth and 1972 third. Snead started only two games for the Vikings before becoming part of the package that brought Fran Tarkenton back to Minnesota. Philadelphia received several years of Smith plus multiple selections, giving the Eagles the stronger direct return despite Minnesota later recycling Snead productively.
