15 WORST Trades In NFL History

No Watson to Cleveland? That’s a dumb trade already.

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!!

In all fairness with the Bettis trade, the new offense the Rams were instituting ended up being the greatest show on turf a couple seasons later

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.

Honestly, the Herschel Walker trade was worse than the Ricky Williams trade.

The Packers weren't a QB desperate team that lucked into Favre. The QB at the time had made an All Pro team and Pro Bowl (back when that actually meant something) and Ron Wolf wanted to draft Favre when he was in New York. When Wolf got to Green Bay he made it a point to go out and get Favre specifically.

Chris Hinton was a damn good player and is sadly forgotten.

I’m shocked the Titans trading away AJ Brown to the Eagles wasn’t on the list.

That #LetsRide promo of #RusselWilson should've been cause for the Broncos to reclaim a 2nd round pick, and also to be fined by the league for something 😂😂

Brett favor is crazy

Largent was AFC, 1st Ballot HoF WR and set every NFL receiving record, greater yards per catch than Randy Moss or 95% of all HoF WRs while he was in the non passing era.

Trubisky made it to the playoffs twice. He was bad but not a colossal bust.

The seamless transitions from trade to trade are underrated here...really well done job setting yourself up for each next moment

Largent didn’t terrorize San Fransisco considering the Seahawks played in the AFC WEST at the time. Duh. 🤣🤦🏻‍♂️

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.

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.

Just throwing this out there but Seahawks were an AFC team until 2001. Largent wasn’t “terrorizing” the NFC.

The Wilson trade is here but not the Watson trade? Watson’s trade was INFINITELY WORSE!

Rams fleecing of the Packers in 1975 for Hadl had to be one of the top 5 worst trades ever
