NFL Trade Verdict
Even Trade
Detroit acquired Rick Ogle from Arizona/St. Louis Cardinals for Paul Gipson. Reassessed for curve balance as a true low-margin exchange. The available record does not show enough durable separation between Detroit's realized return and the partner's return to justify a directional win.
Arizona Cardinals Received
- player Paul Gipson
- pick 1973 sixth round pick (#148-Phil Andre)
Detroit Lions Received
- player Rick Ogle
Trade Analysis
Arizona/St. Louis Cardinals received Paul Gipson and gave up Rick Ogle. Reassessed as a public, viewable even trade because the historical record points to comparable or limited realized value on both sides.
