Chronological Timeline
2 Recorded Trades
Trade 1 of 2
Cleveland Browns and San Francisco 49ers
Cleveland acquired Ty Detmer and a fourth-round pick later used on linebacker Wali Rainer while sending San Francisco two 1999 draft choices. Detmer provided a short bridge at quarterback, but Rainer became the real return, starting 44 games for the Browns over three seasons. San Francisco received useful draft capital, including a pick later folded into another move, yet Cleveland extracted the clearer direct football value and earns the win.

Trade 2 of 2
Cleveland Browns and Jacksonville Jaguars
Cleveland moved up three spots and selected center Melvin Fowler at No. 76. Fowler gave the Browns three seasons of useful offensive-line service and made 14 starts, so the trade did produce a legitimate contributor. The return was respectable for a third-round move, but it did not match Jacksonville's combination of Wali Rainer's immediate starting role and the additional No. 79 selection.
Assets Received
Jacksonville Jaguars
- Player Wali Rainer
- Pick 2002 3rd round pick (79th overall subsequently traded, Rashad Bauman)
Cleveland Browns
- Pick 2002 3rd round pick (76th overall, Melvin Fowler)
