Miami Dolphins and New York Jets
The Jets acquired defensive lineman Larry Woods. Miami received the 1975 sixth-round pick that became linebacker Steve Towle, who played 78 NFL games and became a substantial contributor for the Dolphins. A sixth-round asset turning into a multi-season linebacker is exactly the kind of surplus value that separates this from an even exchange. Woods did not provide New York a comparable return.

Detroit Lions and Miami Dolphins
Miami moved veteran linebacker Steve Towle to Detroit for the 1982 ninth-round pick that became Steve Clark at No. 239. Towle went to injured reserve before playing a regular-season game for the Lions and later retired. Clark, meanwhile, played 41 NFL games with five starts for Miami. The Dolphins turned an outgoing veteran into several seasons of useful depth.
