Leo Hart
Buffalo traded quarterback Leo Hart to the New York Giants on April 25, 1974 for a future draft choice whose exact round and selection have not been reliably established. Hart had appeared in two games with one start for Buffalo in 1972, completing 6 of 15 passes for 53 yards with three interceptions. He did not appear in a regular-season game for the Giants and was released before the 1974 season, leaving New York without on-field return from the player acquisition.
Buffalo traded running back Larry Watkins to New York on April 18, 1975 for the Giants' 1976 seventh-round choice, which became No. 195 overall. The Bills selected Texas A&M defensive back Jackie Williams, but he never appeared in an NFL regular-season game. Buffalo therefore converted a veteran reserve into a draft asset that produced no regular-season field value.
Buffalo received the 2025 sixth-round selection used on Dorian Strong. Strong appeared in four rookie games, made one start, and recorded 10 tackles, giving the Bills some direct defensive value. The return remains early in its development, but New York has already accumulated more total service from Boogie Basham and Korie Black, leaving Buffalo slightly behind in realized value.
