Dallas Cowboys and New Orleans Saints
New Orleans acquired defensive end Willie Townes from Dallas on September 9, 1970 for a 1971 fourth-round pick that became Joe Carter at No. 80. Townes’ Saints tenure was brief, but he appeared in six games and started four. Carter never appeared in an NFL regular-season game for Dallas. Neither return was large, yet New Orleans received actual playing value while the Cowboys’ draft conversion produced none, giving the Saints a narrow win.
