Chronological Timeline
Trade 1 of 2
New York Giants received 1986 second round pick (#44-Mark Collins) and undisclosed consideration from Minnesota Vikings for rights to Gary Zimmerman and undisclosed consideration. The recorded outcome favors Minnesota Vikings.
Trade 2 of 2
Minnesota Vikings and Denver Broncos completed this exchange on 1993-08-23. Zimmerman immediately started for Denver and remained a cornerstone through the club's rise to consecutive Super Bowl championships, earning further Pro Bowl and All-Pro recognition. Minnesota's return was excellent and would win many trades: Washington and Thomas gave the Vikings years of starting secondary play. Following the acquired picks only through moves actually made by the receiving clubs, the overall result is Denver Broncos Win.
