New York Times article about Young for Derrick Thomas
http://www.nytimes.com/1993/04/20/sp...city-49er.html

Neither article says that Peterson was trying to trade Thomas for Young. All the "evidence" so far suggests that in 1989/1990, San Francisco tried to trade their as of yet unproven backup QB for Thomas.

Once again, huge fail.
