Chronological Timeline
Trade 1 of 3
Detroit Lions received John Hilton from Washington for 1975 fifth round pick (#123-Willie McGee). The recorded outcome does not show enough separation to identify a clear winner.
Trade 2 of 3
Los Angeles/San Diego Chargers received 1975 sixth round pick (probably #151-Tom Hicks) from Los Angeles Rams for Willie McGee. The recorded outcome does not show enough separation to identify a clear winner.
Trade 3 of 3
San Francisco sent quarterback Steve Spurrier to expansion Tampa Bay for Bruce Elia, Willie McGee and the 1976 second-round pick used on Eddie Lewis. McGee immediately produced 269 receiving yards and four touchdowns in six games before a broken leg. The 49ers received multiple assets and more aggregate value than Tampa Bay realized from one difficult Spurrier season.
