Chronological Timeline
Trade 1 of 2
New England acquired defensive end Tony McGee from Chicago just before the 1974 season for an eighth-round choice in 1975 and a third-round choice in 1976. McGee became a long-term Patriots contributor and was later named to the franchise's All-1970s Team. Chicago used the acquired choices on Joe Harris and Brian Baschnagel; Baschnagel alone played 129 games for the Bears, starting 73 and producing 2,024 receiving yards. The realized value on both sides makes an even verdict the fairest result.
Trade 2 of 2
New England Patriots received 1984 ninth round pick (#251-David Windham), while Washington Commanders received Tony McGee (Eugene). Washington's September 1982 acquisition of Tony McGee for a 1984 ninth-round choice is supported by contemporary reporting and the draft history. That return earns a D grade for New England Patriots, and the overall verdict is Washington Commanders Win.
