    Well recently I think the Dolphins ripped off the Vikes with that Culpepper deal. What was the trade again?

    Just about every trade the Vikings ever did...Herschel Walker trade - giving up a ton of draft picks to the Cowboys..for a RB that never was even utilized right. Eventually propelled the Cowboys to a reign of Super Bowl victories after they used those picks to land Emmitt Smith, Darren Woodson and other players.Randy Moss trade - basically giving up the best WR in football at the time, for Troy Williamson, and Napolean Harris..neither of which contributed much to their team this year.and if you want to add the Daunte Culpepper trade - a QB who threw for 4k yards and 39 Tds just a year ago...for a 2nd rounder, (although we have to wait how this turns out)maybe they should just be banned from trading [​IMG] ( just kidding)

    The Eric Dickerson trade was a ripoff. Rams pwned it.

    Can't believe nobody has mentioned the Ricky Williams trade.In either '03 or '04, the Texans traded us like 4 picks for our 1st round pick and took Jason Babin (who?).

    I gotta go with the Randy Moss trade because Oakland ripped them big time, what did they even get in return? Draft picks? Im pretty sure what it was but Minnesota should have asked for a better trade instead for draft picks because you dont know if your guy gonna be good or not.How about when San Digeo Chargers drafted LT? They traded up for somebody, i forget but they really had a steal that time.

    Randy Moss trade was a bad trade.Eric Dickerson to the Colts was a terrible one too.Hard to decide.

    I say the recent Dolphins and Vikings trade. The Vikes were on the losing side of this one.

Cowboys build dynasty around Herschel Walker deal (66 letters)The Herschel Walker trade stands apart as the worst trade in the history of sports. The Dallas Cowboys' success in the 1990s can be traced directly to this transaction as it gave Jimmy Johnson the "raw material" he needed to build his juggernaut.With one of the draft picks netted in the Herschel Walker deal, the Cowboys landed Emmitt Smith.Then, to add insult to injury, when the Vikings got rid of Herschel, where did he end up? Back in Dallas! Talk about getting something for nothing.Grant RupleArlington, TexasA lifelong Eagles fan, I didn't know who to hate more in the 90s: The Cowboys and their domination, or the Vikings and their stupidity.Greg KaneSacramento, Calif.The Herschel Walker trade was the most lopsided trade ever. Dallas used the players recieved in the deal to win three Super Bowls. The only memorable thing Herschel Walker ever did for the Vikings was lose his shoe.Sam BaumanMinneapolis</div>http://espn.go.com/page2/s/readers/worstdeals.html

    hah the Ruth deal was worse....top player of all time for about 300,000 dollars....built the yankees franchise...probably worth, (including history) at least a couple of billion dollars

    Worst Jets trade in history: Two firsts for Dewayne Robertson.Worst trade in recent NFL History: Eli Manning trade. Giants got ripped big time.Worst trade ever: Herschel Walker trade.
