Chronological Timeline
Trade 1 of 3
Miami's Laremy Tunsil trade became one of the most valuable asset hauls of the modern era. Houston acquired a legitimate franchise left tackle and protected Deshaun Watson, so the Texans' side was not empty. But Miami extracted a massive premium, gained roster-building flexibility, and turned one elite tackle into the kind of pick package that can reshape a franchise. The verdict remains clear.
Trade 2 of 3
San Francisco sent Miami the No. 12 pick in 2021, first-round picks in 2022 and 2023, and a 2022 third-rounder to move up to No. 3 for Trey Lance. Lance started only four games for the 49ers before they traded him to Dallas for a 2024 fourth. Miami immediately recycled No. 12 in another trade and retained enormous additional capital. The quarterback gamble failed, making the Dolphins the overwhelming winner.
Trade 3 of 3
Dallas sent a 2024 fourth-round pick to San Francisco for Trey Lance, hoping the former No. 3 selection could develop behind Dak Prescott. Lance attempted only 41 regular-season passes for Dallas before leaving, while San Francisco used pick No. 124 on safety Malik Mustapha. Mustapha has started 22 games, recorded 148 tackles and intercepted two passes through two seasons. The 49ers converted a discarded quarterback into a starting defender and won decisively.
