Trade context

Reported April 1, 1993. In a rare division-rival deal, Don Shula's Dolphins sent a 1993 second-rounder (No. 51, G Todd Rucci) and a 1994 third-rounder (No. 90, G Joe Burch) to New England for WR Irving Fryar to pair with Dan Marino. Fryar made the Pro Bowl in 1993 and 1994 with Miami but left in free agency after 1995; the picks never amounted to much for the Patriots.
