New England Patriots and Philadelphia Eagles
New England acquired linebacker Steve Zabel from Philadelphia in July 1975 for two 1976 draft picks: fourth-round No. 97 Gene Swick and eighth-round No. 216 Richard LaFargue. No supported 1977 ninth-round choice belongs in the package. Philadelphia received two legitimate selections for a veteran player, giving the Eagles a small value edge despite modest overall outcomes.
