1987 — In a three-team "Deal of the Decade" involving 10 players and/or draft choices, the Rams trade Eric Dickerson to the Colts for six draft choices and two players. Buffalo obtains the rights to Cornelius Bennett from Indianapolis, sending Greg Bell and three draft choices to the Rams. The Colts add Owen Gill and three draft choices of their own to complete the deal.

I remember exactly where I was and what I was doing when the news first broke on the radio...Kind of like the Kennedy assassination, Challenger, and 911.

i was 9 years old at the time. and i remember my dad telling me dickerson was traded. and since i was so young, i was bummed we didn't get the name player. and i remember thinking, "what kind of name i cornelius?"

Anyways, i was horribly wrong to hate the trade and love the spunk and fire bennett and bruce brought to the 90's bills.
