Recorded Trade
Trade 1 of 1
Miami Dolphins and Tampa Bay Buccaneers
Miami acquired veteran defensive end Council Rudolph from Tampa Bay, but Rudolph's documented NFL playing career had already ended after the 1977 season. He did not appear in a regular-season game for the Dolphins following the transaction, leaving Miami without realized on-field value. The lack of a usable player return made the deal a clear miss for Miami.
