Denver Broncos and Dallas Cowboys

Dallas Cowboys Win Tier: minor Confidence: high

Denver acquired tackle-center Dave Widell from Dallas in August 1990 for a 1991 seventh-round pick that became Leon Lett and a conditional 1992 selection. Widell went on to a 156-game NFL career and gave Denver substantial line value, while Lett became a major Cowboys defender. Dallas wins the trade, but Denver also received a productive long-term player, so both grades stay strong.
