Arizona Cardinals and Miami Dolphins
Miami packaged picks No. 89, No. 115 and No. 121 to Arizona for the No. 65 selection in the 1994 draft and used it on center Tim Ruddy. Ruddy played 156 NFL games, started 140 and spent his entire career with Miami, giving the Dolphins long-term stability in the middle of the offensive line.
Assets Received
Miami Dolphins
- Pick 1994 2nd round pick (65th overall, Tim Ruddy)
Arizona Cardinals
- Pick 1994 3rd round pick (89th overall, Eric England), 1994 4th round pick (115th overall, Terry Irving) and 1994 4th round pick (121st overall subsequently traded, John Burke)

Trade 2 of 3
Arizona Cardinals and New England Patriots
Arizona Cardinals received 1994 4th round pick (107th overall, Perry Carter) in the 1994-04-25 exchange with New England Patriots. Perry Carter never appeared in a game for Arizona and had only a short NFL career elsewhere, so the Cardinals did not capture comparable value from the higher pick. The direct return and the football value it produced drive the hindsight judgment. Against the assets Arizona Cardinals surrendered, the result supports New England Patriots Win and a D+ grade for Arizona Cardinals.
Assets Received
New England Patriots
- Pick 1994 4th round pick (121st overall, John Burke)
- Pick 1994 5th round pick (135th overall, Pat O'Neill)
Arizona Cardinals
- Pick 1994 4th round pick (107th overall, Perry Carter)

Los Angeles Chargers and New York Jets
Los Angeles Chargers traded John Burke to the New York Jets on August 10, 1999, not in 2009, and received a 2001 seventh-round pick in return. The transaction produced little lasting impact for either side, so placing it in 1999 changes the historical record more than the football evaluation. The Chargers receive a C in an evenly graded exchange.
Assets Received
Los Angeles Chargers
- Pick 2001 7th round pick
New York Jets
- Player John Burke
