15 WORST Trades In NFL History

[@Bormannator]

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.

[@poopmonster7650]

Saints always so quick to trade whole draft classes for free one guy

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.

He told the Colts he wouldn’t play for them but they took him anyway so I’d have to say they had a choice and they chose wrong

[@singingchef23]

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.

[@KKPsi-TubaDawg]

He should have mentioned that the Colts had reportedly worked out a deal with the Raiders to acquire quarterback Marc Wilson, tight end Todd Christensen, HoF offensive tackle Art Shell,and two first-round draft picks in exchange for Elway. Several team owners opposed the deal and the league office, led by NFL Commissioner Pete Rozelle, had concerns about competitive balance since the Raiders had just won the Super Bowl. Ultimately, these combined factors led to the league office effectively preventing the trade from happening. Once that fell apart, the Colts were hosed.

[@Starchild011067]

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!!

Panthers trading for Bryce Young could very well end up here. And it’s not even done. Young for DJ Moore, Caleb Williams, Darnell Wright, Tyrique Stevenson, Tory 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.

[@coreylineberry8557]

If Bryce develops into the QB he was touted to be during the draft process, it won't be seen as bad as it is right now.

[@PhilAndersonOutside]

Bryce is still young (see what I did there?!). However, he has yet to show he's anything close to even being a good NFL QB.

[@ChargerBulldogs19]

@@PhilAndersonOutside to his credit, the panthers traded away the one good receiver he’d have to throw to in order to get him. The thing is, even if Bryce ends up being a solid QB for the panthers, the players the Bears got in and the production they’re projected to have, it’s a massive W for the bears. Like let’s call Bryce and Caleb a wash. Bears also got now 6 years of DJ (great receiver, getting 1000+ yds and they get his mentorship for Rome), Darnell Wright who’s a pretty solid offensive lineman, Tyrique Stevenson who’s projected to be a pretty solid CB paired with Jaylon Johnson, Tory Taylor who could be one of the better punters, if not a top punter in the league, and also another pick who’ll likely be a decent trenched guy. Like even if Young turns out to be as good as Caleb, it’s the rest of the pieces that don’t give the Panthers a shot at getting even an “even” grade on that trade.

[@PhilAndersonOutside]

@@ChargerBulldogs19 Excellent post. I don't think Young will play as bad as last year, or be a bust. But I also have yet to see any hint he's going to be worth the #1 pick overall, let alone what the gave up to get him.

For at least the next 2 years, they basically have no choice but to keep him and hope he somehow returns to his form from 2018-2020, which he hasn’t shown in four years.

@@ErikCB912 Correct. While the Broncos are on the hook for about $37m to Wilson this year and next. The Browns are on the hook for something like $60-70m for both 2025 and 2026. That's how baked that deal is. He's being paid "take us to the Super Bowl and win MVP" type money on top of that insane trade, and he's never come even close to playing at that level.

[@Jemwelsh789]

Pats fan who was late teens in 07 here. You can’t put the Moss trade from Oakland on any all time bad list IMO. At the time, Moss had a bad rep and the general consensus was he had lost his speed. There were only 2 teams that were interested- Green Bay and NE. GBs interest was pretty much Brett Favres interest. Moss was actively hurting Oakland being on their roster. There was 0 chance he was turning it around there - could you imagine what he would have been like during the Jamarcus Russel era? They had 0 leverage - little interest league wide, he didn’t want to stay, they didn’t want him. TBF they probably did well to get a 4th rounder

[@williammacdonald9271]

To defend the raiders, Randy quit they had no leverage.

[@bms9144]

Exactly. He was out on the field barely going through the motions. The Raiders sucked, and their quarterbacking was horrible. But the level of effort shown by Moss was a sign of his flawed character. He once mock pulled down his pants and mooned a defense. As a Raider he mock pulled down his pants as an invite to the DBs.

[@FootballFrenzy1015]

Ricky Williams trade really set back the Saints for a long time. I personally like the Falcons with Favre. There is a soundbite where Jerry Glanville told Favre the only way he could ever start is if the team bus crashed and he was the only one left.

As an Eagles fan you have to also think about what the Eagles got long term out of that trade. Used one of the 3rd round picks to move up over the Giants to draft Devonta Smith. That first round pick the following year they traded to the Titans for AJ Brown. Eagles traded away another of their first round picks to the Saints which allowed them to draft Jalen Carter the following year.

[@jayt8914]

Brett "FAVOUR" tells you all you need to know about a franchise that doesn't even decide to learn a kid's name before drafting him. Then straight up admitting they drafted the wrong guy is just down right hilarious man.

[@myaccount5834]

People seem to forget that Randy Moss stopped playing for the Raiders. They really were not trading him rather than cutting their losses. They were still a dumpster fire at that time. Not sure anyone wanted to play there at the time.

[@IlGreven]

The Rams traded Bettis because they thought Lawrence Phillips would be a better fit. He wasn't. It got the head coach fired...but it wasn't all bad. They got Dick Vermiel, drafted Orlando Pace, then Leonard Little and Az Hakim (and got undrafted FA London Fletcher), then Torry Holt and Dre Bly, and then they finally got their RB when they traded for Marshall Faulk. One injury to Trent Green later, and the Greatest Show on Turf got their Super Bowl. Just goes to show that a bad trade can still net something positive eventually...even if it means shedding the crappy management that made the trade...

Honorable mention: Buffalo Bills trade the pick to the Chiefs that they used to draft Patrick Mahomes in the 2017 draft. That deal, of course, allowed KC to move up to the 10th spot In exchange for that pick, they sent back their original first-round pick (27th overall), a 2017 third-round pick and a 2018 first-round pick. Even though the Bills did well with the haul they received (The 2017 first turned into Tre'Davias White, while that year's extra third-rounder was packaged in a pick-swap that brought Zay Jones to Buffalo. Then, the 2018 first-round pick was swapped with Baltimore, bringing Tremain Edmunds to Western New York), I am sure just about every Bills fan would gladly take Mahomes.

The Haynesworth was indeed a disaster. Partly because it was very clear the Titans didn't want him anymore. There's a video clip of Jeff Fisher - normally a very bland person, yelling at Haynesworth. Maybe after that play he stomped on the Cowboy player's face. That said it all.

It stings in the context that the Bears always seem to hit when it comes to drafting linebackers, and even if it would have been short-lived, a linebacking duo of Roquan Smith and Fred Warner (both were drafted in the same year) in the middle would have made NFC North quarterbacks shake in their cleats.

Gonna have to redo this list very soon because the Bears fleeced the Panthers in 2023, which the Bears got DJ Moore, Darnell Wright, tyrique Stevenson and Caleb Williams in 2024 and we still have a pick in 2025 to get from them

[@Tezo_growler5]

The first clip you added was actually not a disappointed fan. It was actually the dad of brock Purdy getting emotional after the crowd was chanting brock Purdy.

[@jeremyseaton3314]

In hindsight, you like to get more for Hopkins, but in reality, it was smart to move him while his value was high.

[@multiyapples]

Ya the trade for Ryan Leaf has to be the worst.

[@synyster_172]

Idk, it's hard to call the 49ers trade for Lance one of the worst ever. He was ready to take over and got hurt. Purdy stepped up and seized his moment. So it's not that Lance failed, just a situation of never really seeing what could've been

[@29freshprince]

Exactly let the dude get a full season before everyone judges him

[@zdestroyer2115]

That Deshaun Watson trade gonna be on here in like a year

[@awakenthewoke1091]

The Bengals trading up to take Ki-Jana Carter #1 overall in 95 was terrible as well. I'm a lifelong Bengals fan and the 95-99 teams were terrible. Carter did pretty much nothing.

[@PhilAndersonOutside]

Well keep in mind he completely shredded his ACL in like his 4th carry in the preseason of his rookie year and never truly recovered. But yes, definitely overdrafted. Sucks because he's a nice guy.

[@awakenthewoke1091]

[@stephenheisler3823]

Yeah, I thought Deandre Hopkins trade is going to be on the list. I just don't know what O'Brian was thinking. First making a couple bad judgment calls that cost us badly the division round against the Chiefs, then trading Hopkins in a move that did us no good! Man, was he so driven by ego or what? And that's coming from a Texan fan.

[@MapleLeafMav]

He wanted to make his mark on the team and didnt like Hopkins attitude. Horrible decision

[@jeff-ds2pr]

The Lions giving up their first round pick, that ended up being Willie Roaf for Pat Swilling should probably be on here. Swilling was mediocre for the Lions, and soon out of the team within a couple seasons, while Roaf went on to be an 11 time pro bowler. Can you imagine having Lomas Brown and Roaf as bookend tackles for the Lions?

[@NinjaFlipsTV]

It sucks that the 'Bus' lone Super Bowl is marred by the fact that its' the commonly most acknowledged rigged Bowl games ever, aside form Broadway Joes' Bowl

[@marcusseay7737]

Having the Wilson trade and not the Watson trade which in my opinion other then maybe the 9ers trading up for Trey lance is the worst trade in nfl history in terms of draft value, salary cap impact, and overall qb play

[@johncaparulo4800]

7:05 That's a picture of TERRY METCALF, father of ERIC METCALF.

[@Mercenarymn]

The Raiders should be on here 5 times. Trading for Randy Moss, trading away Randy Moss, trading away Khalil Mack, trading for Antonio Brown, trading for Davante Adams.

[@samtheman123]

The Deshaun Watson trade not only needs to be on here, it’s number 1. They gave up 3 firsts, a third and 2 fourths for who is now possibly the worst starting quarterback in the NFL and an absolute disaster off the field. How the hell is he not on the list.

[@justinfletcher7630]

I haven't seen any yet but the herschel walker trade needs to be one

[@loboblanco4426]

The Hopkins trade would have been a bad move for Houston even if DeAndre Hopkins were rolled out in a body cast to sign the trade agreement.

[@alexfroelich3404]

Obviously this is premature but let’s look at the updated trade between the Bears & Panthers. Has the potential to be right up there as the worst lol Bears receive: WR DJ Moore 2023 first-round pick (OT Darnell Wright) 2023 second-round pick (CB Tyrique Stevenson) 2024 first-round pick (QB Caleb Williams) WR Keenan Allen (Panthers 2024 4th round pick) 2025 second-round pick Panthers receive: 2023 No. 1 pick (Bryce Young)

[@robertpayne6781]

No, I think it is fair to say at this point that the Browns trade for Deshaun Watson is the worst of all time. Especially considering the fully guaranteed contract they gave him.

[@MrKylej7110]

Trent Richardson is the only trade I can think of where both teams lost terribly

[@ffdave117]

Harrington pick was bad but what made it worse was that they drafted him instead of Julius Peppers

[@bruceleeroy8302]

I don’t necessarily agree with the trades where a team gives away a player that wasn’t productive for them, and that player flourishes somewhere else (e.g. Moss, Bettis) I definitely think the ones where teams mortgage their future for a player that turns out to be mediocre or a bust count more

[@lastmidnight0114]

I actually never knew the chargers traded up for leaf. That makes that pick even worse wow

[@jaredwilliams1758]

Trading away every draft pick plus a 1st and 3rd the following for a running back is insane
