Chronological Timeline
2 Recorded Trades
Trade 1 of 2
Dallas Cowboys and Indianapolis Colts
Dallas acquired defensive lineman John Dutton for its first- and second-round picks in 1980. Dutton became a long-term piece of the Cowboys defense and remained with the club through 1987, giving Dallas years of starting value from an established player. That sustained contribution outweighed the two draft choices Baltimore ultimately used on Derrick Hatchett and Tim Foley.
Assets Received
Indianapolis Colts
- Pick 1980 first round pick (#24-Derrick Hatchett)
- Pick 1980 second round pick (#51-Tim Foley (John))
