Green Bay Packers Return
From Green Bay Packers's side, Atlanta acquired tight end Ron Jones from Green Bay for cash on September 2, 1970. Jones had played six games for Green Bay in 1969 but never appeared in a regular-season game for Atlanta. That balance supports a C+ grade for Green Bay Packers and a D+ for Atlanta Falcons. The final call is Green Bay Packers Win, with the grades kept proportional to the small stakes of the deal.
Value in Hindsight
Jones had played six games for Green Bay in 1969 but never appeared in a regular-season game for Atlanta. That is the central separation. A C-range grade can represent a defensible low-stakes move, while a B-range result requires a clearer positive return. A D-range grade fits a side that surrendered something and received little or no usable value. The available history is specific enough to make that distinction without treating a small transaction like a blockbuster.
Final Verdict
The final call is Green Bay Packers Win. Atlanta Falcons receives a D+, while Green Bay Packers receives a C+. Those grades reflect the documented terms, the value that materialized afterward, and the limited scale of the move.
