Chronological Timeline
Trade 1 of 2
Pittsburgh acquired Jerome Bettis and a third-round pick for a package led by Ernie Conwell and future fourth-round value. Bettis became a Hall of Fame runner, the identity of the Steelers offense, and a central figure in a championship era. The Rams received useful value, but Pittsburgh acquired the player who defined the deal.
Trade 2 of 2
Pittsburgh sent linebacker Steve Conley to Indianapolis on August 30, 1998 and received the Colts' 1999 fifth-round pick. The selection became No. 136, Jerame Tuman. Indianapolis obtained immediate linebacker depth, while Pittsburgh turned Conley into a draft asset that produced a long-term tight end for the Steelers. That lasting return gives Pittsburgh the better side of an otherwise modest transaction.
