Seattle Seahawks and New York Jets
Seattle sent veteran tackle Ron Mattes to the Jets on January 31, 1991 for a 1992 12th-round pick, later No. 320 overall and defensive end John MacNeill. Seattle's own all-time trade page confirms the exact exchange. The Jets received the established NFL player, while the final-round draft return did not develop into comparable value for Seattle, giving New York the stronger side.

Chicago Bears and New York Jets
Chicago acquired veteran tackle Ron Mattes from the Jets for a conditional 1992 eighth-round pick that transferred only if Mattes made the Bears roster. He did, appearing in 15 games during the 1991 season, so New York received pick No. 219 and selected Vincent Brownlee. Mattes delivered useful immediate line depth, while the late selection produced little comparable NFL value, giving Chicago a small but clear win.
