3 Recorded Trades
Trade 1 of 3
San Francisco 49ers and Tampa Bay Buccaneers
San Francisco acquired Jim Leonard and received nine games of service from him in 1985. The contribution was modest, but it was real regular-season value from a late-round transaction. Because Tampa Bay's acquired twelfth-round selection became Mike Crawford, who produced no regular-season Buccaneers value, the 49ers finished slightly ahead.
Assets Received

- Player Jim Leonard

Chicago Bears and Los Angeles Rams
The Rams moved down two spots in the 1997 second round, sending No. 38 to Chicago for No. 40 and a sixth-round pick. St. Louis selected cornerback Dexter McCleon at No. 40, and he became a long-term starter who played 148 NFL games and won a Super Bowl with the Rams. Chicago selected John Allred, whose career was far more limited.
Assets Received
Los Angeles Rams
- Pick 1997 2nd round pick (40th overall, Dexter McCleon)
- Pick 1997 6th round pick (173rd overall; subsequently traded to Miami)
Chicago Bears
- Pick 1997 2nd round pick (38th overall, John Allred)

Los Angeles Rams and Miami Dolphins
Miami traded the 112th pick to the Rams and received Nos. 121, 170 and 173. The Rams used No. 112 on Ryan Tucker, who became a 134-game NFL lineman and later started 102 games. Miami's three selections produced Jerome Daniels, Brian Manning and Mike Crawford, whose combined NFL impact was limited. The quality of Tucker's career makes the Rams the clear winner of the trade-up.
Assets Received
Miami Dolphins
- Pick 1997 4th round pick (121st overall, Jerome Daniels), 1997 6th round pick (170th overall, Brian Manning) and 1997 6th round pick (173rd overall, Mike Crawford)
Los Angeles Rams
