Buffalo Bills and Indianapolis Colts

Buffalo Bills Win Tier: major Confidence: high

Buffalo obtained the rights to linebacker Cornelius Bennett on October 31, 1987, surrendering Greg Bell plus first-round picks in 1988 and 1989 and a 1989 second-rounder. Bennett became a centerpiece of the Bills defense during the franchise's Super Bowl run, making the premium package worthwhile despite the substantial price Buffalo paid.

Trade 4 of 4

Las Vegas Raiders and Denver Broncos

Denver Broncos Win Tier: standard Confidence: high

Los Angeles Raiders and Denver Broncos completed this exchange on 1993-04-14. The Broncos used the acquired No. This was not a disastrous veteran purchase for Los Angeles, because a third-round pick was a reasonable cost for a back with a recent 1,000-yard season. Following the acquired picks only through moves actually made by the receiving clubs, the overall result is Denver Broncos Win.

Assets Received

Denver Broncos
  • Pick 1993 third round pick (#69-Rondell Jones)
Las Vegas Raiders
  • Player Gaston Green
