Minnesota Vikings and New York Giants
Minnesota traded running back Tony Galbreath to New York for linebacker Brad Van Pelt on July 12, 1984. Van Pelt never reported to Vikings camp and did not play a regular-season game for Minnesota. Galbreath, by contrast, spent four seasons with the Giants, caught 126 passes in that span and was part of the 1986 Super Bowl championship team, making New York the clear winner.
