Cincinnati Bengals and Kansas City Chiefs
Kansas City acquired linebacker Ken Avery from Cincinnati for a future fourth-round choice. Avery gave the Chiefs one season, appearing in all 14 games with five starts in 1975. Cincinnati used the resulting No. 106 pick in 1976 on Tony Davis, who spent three seasons with the Bengals and remained in the NFL for six years. The Bengals receive a modest edge for the longer realized return.

Cincinnati Bengals and Tampa Bay Buccaneers
Cincinnati traded running back Tony Davis to Tampa Bay for a 1980 sixth-round selection that became Andrew Melontree at No. 159. Melontree did not develop into a meaningful long-term Bengals contributor. Davis, meanwhile, remained with Tampa Bay for three seasons and appeared in 47 regular-season games, giving the Buccaneers the more durable realized return.
