Miami Dolphins and Tampa Bay Buccaneers
Miami Dolphins Win Tier: standard
Confidence: high
Miami sent tackle Darryl Carlton to Tampa Bay for veteran tackle Mike Current and the Buccaneers' 1978 fifth-round pick. Current started 45 games for the Dolphins from 1977 through 1979. Miami later returned the same fifth-round asset to Tampa Bay in a separate August 30 trade for Steve Young, so Young is a downstream use of the pick rather than a direct asset in this exchange.
San Francisco 49ers Win Tier: landmark
Confidence: high
The Steve Young trade became one of the best quarterback acquisitions in NFL history. San Francisco acquired Young from Tampa Bay for modest draft capital and cash, then eventually turned him into an MVP, a Super Bowl champion, and the successor to Joe Montana. Tampa Bay moved a future Hall of Famer before his prime arrived. It remains a priority indexing page because Young's move from Tampa Bay to San Francisco is a cornerstone quarterback-trade story.
