New York Giants and New York Jets
New York traded center Chris Foote to the Jets on August 23, 1983 for a conditional draft choice, but the transaction was effectively unwound six days later. The Jets waived Foote on August 29, which nullified the draft-pick obligation. Foote re-signed with the Giants on September 12 and played 11 games for New York that season. Because no pick transferred and Foote returned, the deal produced no lasting exchange of value.

Minnesota Vikings and New York Giants
Minnesota acquired center Chris Foote from the Giants on May 19, 1987, for a conditional 1988 draft choice. Minnesota team material places the consideration in the 12th round, while surviving draft-transfer records disagree on whether No. 323 Brendan McCormack can be assigned exclusively to this deal. Foote then played four seasons and more than 50 games for the Vikings, giving Minnesota the stronger realized return.
