Trade Analysis
The Exchange
On 1966-06-25, Dallas Cowboys and Green Bay Packers completed an exchange in which Dallas Cowboys received Hank Gremminger, while Green Bay Packers received 1967 fifth round pick (#130-Dick Tate). The transaction was modest, so the evaluation turns on the direct value each club actually realized from its return rather than hypothetical value in another setting.
Dallas Cowboys Return
Dallas Cowboys came away with Hank Gremminger and receives a D. The grade weighs games played, starting work, and identifiable draft value while keeping the scale of the transaction in view. A useful role can matter in a minor deal, but a short stay or a selection that produces little NFL value limits the upside.
Green Bay Packers Return
Green Bay Packers received 1967 fifth round pick (#130-Dick Tate), which earns a D. The same standard applies here: durable production is worth more than a brief appearance, and draft capital is judged by the value that can reasonably be connected to the selection. That keeps both sides on the same footing.
Value in Hindsight
Dallas acquired Hank Gremminger and Green Bay received the 1967 fifth-round choice used at No. 130 on Dick Tate. Gremminger left Dallas during training camp and Tate never became an NFL contributor for Green Bay, leaving both direct returns empty. This is the clearest basis for separating the two returns. Small differences in old transaction dates, player naming, or pick numbering are preserved where relevant, but they do not outweigh the actual football value each club received.
Final Verdict
The final judgment is Even Trade. Dallas Cowboys receives D, while Green Bay Packers receives D. The grades are scaled to the size of the deal: a modest edge can still produce a winner, while two weak returns can reasonably finish even. The call rests on realized NFL value and the strongest supported description of the exchange.
