Chronological Timeline
3 Recorded Trades
Trade 1 of 3
Indianapolis Colts and New Orleans Saints
Baltimore acquired tackle Tom Drougas from New Orleans for a future fourth-round pick, with contemporary material identifying it as a 1975 selection while later accounts differ on the year. The Colts moved Drougas to Denver only six days later for an eighth-round choice. That quick downgrade left Baltimore with less value than it paid and gives New Orleans the stronger side.

Denver Broncos and Indianapolis Colts
Denver Broncos received Tom Drougas from Indianapolis Colts. Tom Drougas appeared in four Broncos games before moving to Kansas City later in 1974, giving Denver a small but tangible direct return. That realized return supports a C- grade for Denver Broncos. The final verdict is Denver Broncos Win, based on the regular-season service and draft value each club actually received after the exchange.

Denver Broncos and Kansas City Chiefs
Denver sent Tom Drougas and Tom Graham to Kansas City for Jim Marsalis in October 1974, but Marsalis failed his physical. The Chiefs replaced that return with 1975 fourth-round No. 84 Steve Taylor and tenth-round No. 240 Hank Engelhardt. With modest player outcomes on both sides, the unusual replacement structure ultimately produced no clear winner.
