Chronological Timeline
3 Recorded Trades
Trade 1 of 3
Las Vegas Raiders and New England Patriots
Oakland sent veteran defensive lineman Ike Lassiter to New England for third- and seventh-round selections in the 1971 draft. The Raiders retained flexibility with the picks and later moved the third-round asset in another transaction, but the direct downstream return did not clearly exceed Lassiter's service. New England received two seasons of immediate veteran line play from the player it acquired.

Trade 2 of 3
Buffalo Bills and Las Vegas Raiders
Buffalo acquired defensive back Alvin Wyatt and the 1971 third-round pick used on Bruce Jarvis from Oakland for Bill Enyart and a 10th-round selection. Wyatt immediately became a regular Bills contributor, starting every game in 1971 and remaining useful in 1972, while Enyart appeared only once for the Raiders. Buffalo also moved up substantially in draft value, creating a clear Bills win.
Assets Received
Buffalo Bills
- Player Alvin Wyatt
- Pick 1971 third round pick (#53-Bruce Jarvis)
Las Vegas Raiders
- Player Bill Enyart
- Pick 1971 tenth round pick (#238-William West)

Trade 3 of 3
Indianapolis Colts and Las Vegas Raiders
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.
