Seattle Seahawks and Dallas Cowboys
Seattle Seahawks Win Tier: standard
Confidence: high
Seattle sent tackle Ron Essink to Dallas on August 25, 1987, for a fifth-round pick in the 1988 draft. One week later, Essink retired because of an elbow problem without playing a regular-season game for the Cowboys. Seattle retained the future selection as a usable asset, even though the pick later moved again. Receiving meaningful draft currency for a player who never suited up for Dallas makes Seattle the clear winner.
