Honorable mention to the worst refused trade in NFL hostory. Before giving all their picks to Washington the Saints tried to get the bengals to trade the #3 overall pick and offered all their draft picks plus next year's first round picks. The Bengals refused saying "Akili Smith is our guy." Instead of getting all those pick they got one of the biggest qb busts of all time.

About the Ricky Williams trade: 1. Proved that post Bears Mike Shitka sucked at being a coach/GM. 2. The immediate damage to the organization was a bit offset by Jim Haslett's 2000 team that won the division and got to the divisional round of the playoffs after beating the Kurt Warner SB champ Rams. 3. The part of this trade that gets completely overlooked is that Washington blew all of those picks... all they ended up with was Champ Bailey, who they got through trading with the picks, Cade McNown, and in 2000, Lavar Arrington. 4. Between both teams, they each won a division title and had 3 winning seasons total. Overall, from both perspectives, a complete trash trade!!

The Elway trade shouldn’t be on here. Chris Hinton was a very good offensive tackle for a long time. And this was a decision that the colts didn’t really have a choice in making. Not even remotely comparable to bill o’Brien trading Hopkins.

@singingchef238 күн бұрын
They didnt need to take Elway to begin. Second they didn't need to trade him too Denver, they took a terrible deal all around and Hinton did nothing to stop the Colts from being an average team. Elway is responsible for 2 wins in 4 trips as a player then doubles back years later and robs the Colts again leading too 1 win in 2 SB trips fleecing the Colts out of Manning.

Panthers trading for Bryce Young could very well end up here. And it’s not even done, there’s still a 2nd rounder next year. Young for DJ Moore, Caleb Williams, Darnell Wright, Tyrique Stevenson, Todu Taylor, and there’s still a 2nd rounder next year. On the surface it seems to be a historic steal. Still has to finish and games still have to be played though.

You dont understand the Thumbnail Trade. Moss was considered "Done" at that point. He had gone to the Raiders after burning his bridges in Minnesota then burned them in Oakland and had a reputation for Lack of Effort. It was an Antonio Brown situation long before Antonio Brown. Nobody wanted Moss at that point until Belichick took a flier on him.

The moss trade wasn’t bad for the raiders he sucked there and everyone said they need to move on, also the Hopkins trade wasn’t that bad either he had one good year after that and quickly fell down if they kept for that till a year left on his deal they would of got a 5th at best for him and keeping him wouldn’t of been better for the team they would of won a couple more games and maybe not get stroud or have the capital to trade up for tank dell and that deal with the cards build a relationship to get that deal done for the 3rd pick. That trade was fine for the Texans hardly one of the worst trades in nfl history.

Trey Lance got screwed from the beginning. He started just 19 college games, covid blew his final year. The 49ers made an absurd trade to pick him #3 overall, placing unfair expectations. Kid had 20 years old when he got drafted with not even 20 career starts. He shouldn't have been a first round pick at all. Got hurt his first season as a starter. Then, traded to the Cowboys where he had next to no chance to play a game. I hope someday we see Trey Lance get another chance as a backup. What he always needed was experience, but covid and the 49ers screwed him.

As a Bears fan what they gave up for Trubisky isn’t as bad as who they drafted him over. If not for the future 3rd rounder Fred Warner becoming one of the best LB in football the trade would’ve been an after thought considering the guy SF picked at #3 Solomon Thomas was a major bust. It needs to be mentioned that SF needed a QB back then too and all Mahomes has done is beaten them TWICE already in the Super Bowl.

If a team agrees to trade back one spot instantly decline the deal that means they don’t want the guy you want, if they wanted that guy they wouldn’t trade back every smart gm that’s ever traded back one spot said this is the easiest deal to make if they are doing they think you want that player for some reason so you’ll always get a huge haul for nothing
@justinlast2lastharder7496 күн бұрын
Wrong. The Trade up one spot is to guarantee someone else can't do it and pick who you want. It usually doesn't take much to do it either. Look at this year, the Vikings moved up with the Jets because there were multiple teams interested in "their guy", the Jets had a few players they wanted available and were fielding offers for 10. It makes sense if you are locked into a guy and are concerned about another team sliding in. (Of course the Jets picked the worst possible, a lineman that will be on the bench and ruined instead of Future HOF Brock Bowers, I'm no longer a Jets fan after this draft. 24 years of fandom gone).
