Chronological Timeline
Trade 1 of 2
Los Angeles acquired wide receiver Lance Rentzel from Dallas on May 19, 1971 for tight end Billy Truax and wide receiver Wendell Tucker. Rentzel started all 28 Rams games in 1971 and 1972, catching 65 passes for 899 yards and six touchdowns over those two seasons, then returned as a reserve in 1974. Truax gave Dallas useful tight-end service, while Tucker never appeared in a Cowboys regular-season game.
Trade 2 of 2
Dallas acquired Hall of Fame receiver Lance Alworth from the Chargers in May 1971 for Pettis Norman, Ron East and Tony Liscio. The move was connected to the Cowboys' simultaneous Lance Rentzel deal with the Rams, but the Chargers' direct return came from Dallas. Alworth immediately helped a championship offense and scored the first touchdown of Dallas' Super Bowl VI victory.
