Miami Dolphins and Tennessee Titans

Houston Oilers Win Tier: standard Confidence: high

On 1991-04-04, Miami Dolphins and Houston Oilers completed a deal whose long-term value became clearer after the players and draft choices developed. Grimsley eventually started 20 games for Miami across the 1992 and 1993 seasons, so the Dolphins did obtain usable defensive value even though he did not become a long-term cornerstone. Houston's advantage rests on sustained team-specific value rather than Donnalley's later career elsewhere. The result is Houston Oilers Win, with Miami Dolphins graded C and Houston Oilers graded A.
