Hayes never hit that mark again, but he would have at least 700 Receiving Yards in the next five seasons, and in 1970 and 1971, he led the NFL in Yards per Reception. Hayes also helped Dallas win Super Bowl VI.
He left Dallas when he was traded to the San Francisco 49ers in 1975, and he played only four games before being released, and he would subsequently retire. With the Cowboys, he had 365 Receptions, 7,295 Receiving Yards with 71 Touchdowns.
Hayes was inducted into the Pro Football Hall of Fame in 2009, which was eight years after he entered the Cowboys Ring of Honor.
