Trade 2 of 2

Miami Dolphins and San Francisco 49ers

Even Trade Tier: standard Confidence: high

Miami acquired offensive lineman Lance Olssen from San Francisco for defensive back Tom Beier in May 1970. Olssen was released without appearing in a Dolphins regular-season game, while Beier likewise failed to make a regular-season appearance for the 49ers. Both players continued to have football transactions afterward, but neither produced NFL value for the club that acquired him in this exchange. With no realized return on either side, the trade is even.
