Packers were suckers in Hadl trade. Originally they were going to trade for Archie Manning with the same offer I heard but right before the trade happened NOLA QB got hurt so they trade got called off but the NOLA GM called up LA said the Packers are desperate for a QB so LA calls GB and GB being idiots offers the same package for a washed up Hadl.

no chance NOLA trades Manning in 74-75, Manning did not have shoulder issues until 76 season

Bill Tobin, who was the Packers' director of pro scouting at the time, actually had reached an agreement on a deal with New Orleans. The Packers were going to get Archie Manning, who was 25 years old and four years removed from being the No. 2 overall pick in the draft, for two first- and two second-round draft picks

Trade for Archie Manning fell through in 1974

So Green Bay made ill-fated trade for John Hadl instead, plus some history on Packers band
