Trade 1 of 2

Detroit Lions and Los Angeles Rams

Even Trade Tier: minor Confidence: high

Detroit Lions acquired Mike Fanning; 1983 fifth round pick (#115-Demetrious Johnson) from Los Angeles/St. Louis Rams for 1984 fifth round pick (#133-Hal Stephens); Russ Bolinger. The final grade stays even because neither side created a clear long-term value gap from the recorded return.

Trade 2 of 2

Detroit Lions and Indianapolis Colts

Even Trade Tier: standard Confidence: high

Indianapolis conditionally acquired defensive back Demetrious Johnson from Detroit for a 1989 twelfth-round pick, but Colts records mark the selection as tied to an unmet condition. The pick was therefore not exercised, and Johnson did not appear in a regular-season game for Indianapolis before playing three games for Miami in 1987. With no durable value transferred, the result is even.
