Worst move in Football

What has been the worst Trade or Release in NFL History?


I'd have to say the Chargers letting Brees Go or the Raiders only getting a 4th rd pick for moss

the moss trade is definetly up their

They had to trade Moss and that was their best offer. He was being a distraction to the team and didnt help that no one threw towards him.

Phillip Rivers for Eli Manning.... Sorry Chargers.

umm.... i do not believe that was a straight out trade. the chargers also recieved a few other picks. like the 12th overall pick in the next years draft. They used that pick to select Shawne Merriman. i think they also got a 3rd round pick but i don't know who they used the pick on.

phillip rivers and shawne merriman and a 3rd round pick for eli manning. i think that trade worked out very well for both teams. it was no where near a bad move for either team. i would almost say the chargers got the better of the trade, but the giants won the superbowl with eli leading them, so you can't argue with results.

Phillip is more consitent Than eli even though eli lit it up in playoffs.

i think wanna the craziest but a very god trade was the ladanian n mike vick trade. both were good trades cause both players were phenomenal. but obviously the chargers won there.

ATL trading favre for 1st round

GB trading favre for 4th round

moss

or anything ted thompson does could be considered one of the worst moves in football

Plus the chargers got a pretty good Qb later in rivers.

Mike Dikta trading the Saints whole draft to move up and draft Ricky Williams. Either that or the Chargers drafting Ryan Leaf instead of Peyton Manning.

everyone who passed up on tom brady and marques colston in the two drafts.

Marshall Faulk being trade from the Colts to the Rams.

I agree! they had to trade R. Moss, he was rotting away in Oakland and after 2 years...

year 05 year 06
recs 60 rec 42
td 8 td 3

his stats at that time showed he was on the decline and was hitting 30 yrs of age and not interested in playing at Oakland and a constant team distraction... they got what they could 4 him.

Wow the saints would have Ricky duece and reggie or maybe they wouldent have drafted reggie if they kept ricky and he didnt get in trouble who knows?.!

I don't care who it is, no player is worth trading your whole draft for. That was the single worse move ever.

The Faulk trade to the Colts would probably be considered even, the Colts drafted Edgerrin James with one of the picks they got, Colts were in no position to win and needed to get younger, Faulk fit in perfectly with the Rams.
The worst trade all time has to be the Herschel Walker trade. The Vikings got Herschel and the Cowboys got 3 Super Bowls (I think the Boys got like 9 draft picks from the Vikings over the next few years).

Hey, good point. Forgot about the Herschel trade. At least he was an esablished player at the time. Ricky Williams was a RB with a lot of tread on his tires.

yeah right. u hve sum teams right now who have drafts that looked like it never occured sum draft yrs.

SOMETIMES I HAVE TO QUESTION YOUR FOOTBALL KNOWLEDGE. IT IS NEVER WORTH IT TO TRADE YOUR WHOLE DRAFT FOR ONE PLAYER.

YOU ALSO HAVE SOME TEAMS WHO HAVE GOTTEN AT LEAST 4 STARTERS IN ONE DRAFT, SO WHAT IS IT THAT YOU ARE SAYING???? LOOK AT WHAT THE CHARGERS DID IN THE DRAFT THAT THEY GOT LT AND DREW BREES.
