With the inclusion of salary cap era, 3-team trades not commonplace.
But in 1987, the L.A. Rams traded Eric Dickerson to the Colts, the Colts then traded Cornelius Bennett to the Bills, and the Rams accumulated players and draft picks.
Rams did not want to sign Dickerson to a large contract and Colts could not sign their draft choice Bennett.
Cousins and the Commanders are at impasse -- he has been franchised twice.
49ers need a QB -- Shannahan reunites with Cousins, & the 49ers pony-up the money.
Commanders get Romo and picks for a future QB that Gruden actually
wants and
trusts -- Cousins was not a Jay Gruden draft selection.
Jerry thinks it is October 1989 all over again, and fleeces them all with a bounty of draft picks or even the 2nd pick in the 2017 draft.
