Chronological Timeline
Trade 1 of 2
Phoenix moved from No. 20 to No. 18 in the 1993 first round, sending San Francisco No. 20 and No. 116. The Cardinals selected tackle Ernest Dye. San Francisco immediately flipped No. 20 to New Orleans for No. 26 and No. 81, then drafted Dana Stubblefield at No. 26 while also owning No. 116. Stubblefield's impact makes this a decisive 49ers win.
Trade 2 of 2
Dallas acquired defensive lineman Artie Smith from New England for past considerations in August 1998. Smith immediately gave the Cowboys a full season of depth, appearing in all 16 games and recording 17 tackles. The exact value of New England's past-considerations return is not identified in the surviving transaction summaries, so it should not be inflated. Dallas gets the modest edge for receiving a season-long contributor while the Patriots' realized compensation remains indistinct.
