Trade 1 of 1
Detroit Lions and Philadelphia Eagles
Philadelphia received defensive back Willie Germany for center Mike Evans, but neither acquisition turned into regular-season NFL value for the new club. Germany does not appear in Philadelphia's 1974 NFL record, while Evans' NFL career ends with the Eagles in 1973 despite Detroit listing him as an offseason acquisition. With both returns producing zero regular-season games, this is an even D-minus result.
Assets Received
Philadelphia Eagles
