Chronological Timeline
Trade 1 of 2
The Colts paid cash for Lloyd Edwards and Bill West on August 4, 1972, then sold both players to Oakland for cash the following day. That rapid resale meant Indianapolis received almost no lasting football contribution from either player. The C grade reflects the limited but recoverable nature of the transaction and supports an Even Trade verdict.
Trade 2 of 2
The Colts sold Lloyd Edwards and William West to Oakland for cash. Indianapolis did not receive a player or draft asset, but the cash return was the full consideration in a modest transaction involving two players who did not become meaningful long-term contributors for the Raiders. That outcome supports a C grade for Indianapolis Colts within the final Even Trade verdict.
