Chicago Bears and Miami Dolphins
Miami acquired quarterback Cade McNown and a 2002 seventh-round pick from Chicago, while the Bears received a 2002 sixth-rounder and a conditional 2003 pick that ultimately became a sixth-round selection. McNown never appeared in another NFL regular-season game after the trade. Chicago used the 2002 pick on Adrian Peterson, who played 106 career games and rushed for 1,283 yards, giving the Bears a decisive long-term advantage.

Arizona Cardinals and New Orleans Saints
New Orleans moved Adrian Peterson after four games in a crowded backfield and received a conditional 2018 sixth-round pick that became No. 189, used on Kamrin Moore. Arizona needed a runner after David Johnson's injury and got six starts, 448 rushing yards and two touchdowns from Peterson. The Cardinals received the more useful direct return, although the short stay keeps the margin modest.
