Chronological Timeline
Trade 1 of 2
Dallas Cowboys acquired Jim Schwantz from Chicago Bears for 1996 6th round pick (201st overall subsequently traded, Hayward Clay). The overall result favors Chicago Bears over Dallas Cowboys.
Trade 2 of 2
Chicago traded picks 18, 83 and 201 to St. Louis in 1996 for No. 13 and selected cornerback Walt Harris. Harris became a six-year Bears starter and later a Pro Bowler, giving Chicago meaningful value. The Rams drafted Eddie Kennison, Jerald Moore and Hayward Clay; Kennison had the strongest overall career but much of it came after St. Louis. The broader package gives the Rams a narrow win.
