Draft Picks, Trades, and Free Agent Signings

In some cases the starting date and/or ending date for an executive could not be found, so conservative estimates are used in their place.
Therefore, transactions from the beginning and/or end of an executive's tenure with a particular franchise may be missing from the register below.
