Los Angeles/Cleveland/St. Louis Rams acquired 1993 eighth round pick (#209-Maa Tanuvasa / Ma'a Tanuvasa) from Cleveland Browns for Frank Stams. Hindsight leans toward Cleveland Browns because the outgoing Rams value or the partner's eventual return proved stronger than what Los Angeles/Cleveland/St. Louis kept.
Indianapolis Colts acquired Hall of Fame RB Eric Dickerson from Rams in three-team deal. Dickerson rushed for 3,122 yards and three Pro Bowls in Indianapolis. Cost was massive — rights to Cornelius Bennett (future Hall of Fame-caliber LB) and three picks. Short-term Colts edge, long-term closer than narrative suggests.
The 1987 Eric Dickerson trade was a rare three-team NFL blockbuster involving the Rams, Colts, and Bills. Indianapolis landed a Hall of Fame running back in his prime. Buffalo landed Cornelius Bennett, a major defensive piece for its AFC rise. The Rams received volume, but not enough elite value. Indianapolis gets the narrow top verdict. The page is also a priority indexing candidate because the Eric Dickerson trade remains one of the NFL's most searched historical blockbusters.
