Chronological Timeline
Trade 1 of 2
Washington Redskins/Commanders acquired Tim Johnson (b. 1965-01-29) from Pittsburgh Steelers for 1991 fourth round pick (#103-Adrian Cooper). The final verdict remains Pittsburgh Steelers Win, with the grades reflecting the recorded asset value and the available historical return.
Trade 2 of 2
Minnesota acquired tight end Adrian Cooper from Pittsburgh for third- and sixth-round picks in 1994. Cooper contributed for one season, but Pittsburgh used the third-rounder on Jason Gildon, who became a three-time Pro Bowler, first-team All-Pro and one of the most prolific pass rushers in Steelers history. That long-term defensive return gives Pittsburgh a decisive edge.
