Dallas Cowboys and Detroit Lions

Detroit Lions Win Tier: standard Confidence: high

Detroit acquired the 56th pick from Dallas during the 1992 draft and selected kicker Jason Hanson. The Cowboys received Nos. 82, 109 and 250, using them on James Brown, Tom Myslinski and Chris Hall. Dallas created three chances, but none matched Hanson's extraordinary 21-season Detroit career. Because Hanson spent his entire career with the Lions, this is a direct and overwhelming team-specific win.

Assets Received

Dallas Cowboys
  • Pick 1992 third round pick (#82-James Brown (Lamont))
  • Pick 1992 fourth round pick (#109-Tom Myslinski)
  • Pick 1992 ninth round pick (#250-Chris Hall)
Detroit Lions
  • Pick 1992 second round pick (#56-Jason Hanson)
