Premise: Robert Louis Reynolds (January 22, 1939 – October 10, 1996) was an American football offensive tackle. He was a 2nd round selection (17th overall pick) in the 1963 NFL Draft by the St. Louis Cardinals out of Bowling Green State University. Reynolds played 12 seasons in the NFL for the St. Louis Cardinals (1963–1971, 1973) and the New England Patriots (1972–1973).
Hypothesis: The Patriots gave Reynolds a pay raise to get him to move over to them from the Cardinals.
