Trade 1 of 2
Minnesota Vikings and New York Giants
Minnesota reacquired Fran Tarkenton from the Giants for Norm Snead, Bob Grim, Vince Clements, a 1972 first-round pick, and a 1973 second-round pick that became Brad Van Pelt. New York received a real package, including a future five-time Pro Bowler. But Tarkenton stabilized Minnesota's offense and became the quarterback of the Vikings' Super Bowl-window years. That timing controlled the verdict.

New Orleans Saints and New York Giants
New Orleans acquired running back Vince Clements from the New York Giants on August 22, 1974 for a conditional 1975 draft choice. The transaction ledger indicates that the pick was not exercised, and Clements was released by the Saints eight days later after failing a physical. He never appeared in a regular-season game for New Orleans, leaving neither side with verified post-trade NFL field value.
