Tony Dorsett

Denver acquired Tony Dorsett from Dallas Cowboys for 1989 conditional fifth round pick (#125-Jeff Roth). Denver paid draft capital for Tony Dorsett, making this a targeted personnel acquisition instead of a pure pick shuffle. The Broncos grade of C reflects the balance between immediate roster help and the opportunity cost of the pick sent to Dallas Cowboys.

Seattle acquired Duke Ferguson from Dallas Cowboys on 1977-05-03, sending 1977 second round pick (#54-Glenn Carano) in return. Seattle's side of this 1977 draft-capital exchange was straightforward: the Seahawks received Duke Ferguson and surrendered 1977 second round pick (#54-Glenn Carano). The B grade reflects the known return, while Dallas Cowboys's C grade accounts for the countervalue. The trade belongs as a standard database entry because its documented impact was real but not franchise-shaping.
