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!!

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.

You dont understand the Thumbnail Trade. Moss was considered "Done" at that point.

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.

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).

The Wilson trade is here but not the Watson trade? Watson’s trade was INFINITELY WORSE!
What has watson done since that trade? Houston didn't exactly take a huge step back with Stroud. While the wilson broncos trade and subsequent contract set them back years.
Channel on the rise!!!! Love to see this kinda content!!! And great editing!!!
Steve Largent played his entire career in the AFC.
I was going to say the same thing. I guess accuracy be damned if you're looking for a good segue to talking about the 49ers.
No, in 1976 the Seahawks were in the NFC. They moved to the AFC in 1977.
@@fortknox4740 dude literally only played 4 games total against the niners and made seem like he was Russell Wilson
@@bigosc2k My comment was only a clarification that the Seahawks were in fact an NFC team in Largent's rookie season 1976, so he did not play his entire career in the AFC. The creator of this video made numerous errors and there is no defense for them, he needs to do better research.
Seattle was in the AFC West until realignment in 2002 when the Houston Texans were the last expansion team to enter the league Then moved to NFC West
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.
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.
Looks destined for the top 5 but we will see
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.
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.
And although he had one good season statistically, he never led the Patriots to a title and retired without a ring.
Agree 100+ Then he had Brady throwing to him and a great team on the rise...... his career was rejuvenated, if he was traded to any other team, wouldve never happen the way it did.
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.
Albert Haynesworth deserved a mention
That was a signing tho if your taking about Washington
Haynesworth wasn't traded - he was a free-agent acquisition.
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.
7:05 That's a picture of TERRY METCALF, father of ERIC METCALF.
You’d think this channel had a million subscribers with the production
Chris Hinton was a damn good player and is sadly forgotten.
The Wilson trade will forever piss fellow broncos fans off 😂
Honestly the colt trade for Wentz worked out in spades for Philly getting smith, brown and dejean are franchise building moves and essentially eased the transition from Wentz to hurts
Always funny we forget Randy moss played for the titans 😂😂😂😂
Washington did not draft well enough with those Ricky picks to warrant a lopsided trade
A bad trade can set a team back, but it’s not the worst thing drafting a bust QB in the first round is the most destructive thing that can happen to your franchise.
Pittsburgh still seems in a good position after Pickett.
Surprised the browns are not here for watson.
Might take some time, but it should be.
Sadly for Trey Lance and Zak wilson they played exactly as their scout reports stated they would. Niether was 1st round talent. Both had major flaws in thier games thats were going to be expolited at the top level. And so it panned out.
My boy John Bowie catching strays
The irony left out, Broncos got Elways from the Colts, which lead to 2 bowl over 4 appearances. The. They got the Colts Franchise QB which lead to 1 bowl in 2 appearances. The Colts really do love to elevate the Broncos.
Elway went to 5 super bowls.
I’m a Steelers fan, and the Bettina trade was good for us. It it wasn’t that bad for the Rams. They ended up trading for Marshall Faulk, who was perfect for the “greatest show on turf”.
I'm actually surprise Washington isn't on here for the rg3 trade
MY DIAMONDS HAVIN HEART ATTAKKZ
He was a really good qb until they until they ruined him and got him hurt, he wasnt a bust, more a victim of circumstance
Rams fleecing of the Packers in 1975 for Hadl had to be one of the top 5 worst trades ever
I’m not a 49ers fan, but Steve Young is one of the most underrated QBs ever. He’s top 8 all time in my book.
Forgot about John Hadl to Green Bay. Packers giving up '75 1st, 2nd, 3rd, '76 1st & 2nd. That trade is one of the worst.
I’ve always felt, the worst trade, was the one that never happened. Ditka actually offered substantially more to the Bengals to get Rickie Williams. They turned it down and drafted Akili Smith.
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.
Good video. Not that dude but there’s several errors. The Russ trade screen says jets. Seahawks were in afc when largest played and u got 49ers and dolphins reversed in Trey Lance. Usually I don’t point errors but a lot of them
Ya the trade for Ryan Leaf has to be the worst.
Lance for the 49ers.. gotta be here. Haven't watched the vid, but ish trade gotta be here.
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
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
Just throwing this out there but Seahawks were an AFC team until 2001. Largent wasn’t “terrorizing” the NFC.
In hindsight, you like to get more for Hopkins, but in reality, it was smart to move him while his value was high.
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)
Make no mistake, Ricky Williams was an elite talent, his years with the dolphins showed what could have been, like his back to back game’s rushing for over 200yds which has only happened 4 times in NFL history!
I often wonder what Mahomes would have been on the bears. I think “out of football” is a 50-50 bet.
No. The Herschel Walker trade is what every subsequent bad trade is compared to. Nuff said.
I’m shocked the Titans trading away AJ Brown to the Eagles wasn’t on the list.
As a Cardinal fan I don't consider the Texan trade bad neither player did anything. What really gets the Cardinals are free agent moves. Getting rid of Calais Campbell and Honey badger because they're too old so we could sign Sam Bradford to sit on the bench.
Bret favor is crazy lol 😂
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.
Aj brown trade has left the chat
Forgot Marshawn Lynch trade
How is Carolina’s Bryce Young fiasco not on the list?
as a browns fan where is the watson trade???
Even if you trade Hopkins the lack of draft capital
The fact that the Watson to Cleveland trade wasn’t on here shows you don’t know anything
Its too early.
Manning might have been a Super Bowl winning QB for the Colts, but like Elway he ended up playing for the Broncos.
3:51 Mr. UNLIMITED.
Watson the molester to Cleveland Wilson's wild Bronco ride (and them trading him away only to replace him with a mid asf college QB) The Panthers trading away their entire franchise for Bryce Young... Those are the last 3 "worst trades ever"
I remember hearing on the radio that we got The Bus Jerome Bettis in Pittsburgh I just remember being stoked and OMG how it worked out❤Go STEELERS
How long until the Bears Panthers Trade gets added to this list?
Largent was a beast.......redskins fan from the old days.... best team ever...EVER....91 skins
Trent Richardson should’ve been Derrick Henry before Derick Henry
Rams traded away Jerome Bettis to make room to draft a player named Lawrence Phillips 😮
They ended up getting Marshall Faulk, so it worked out in the end.
Give it a few years and the panthers trade for Bryce young will be on lists like this
I don’t think so. He’s got weapons now.
Stroud already better, and if Caleb is as advertised, it will be worse.
i guess you could say these are the best trades too.
The Vikings Trade for Hershel Walker. Then the Cowboys won like 3 Super Bowls in the 90s. Great Trade. That's why the Vikings will never go to the Super Bowl. Unless Vegas Allows it. Lol.
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
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).
Before watching: #1 Hershell Walker trade
Elway was a genius!! Nothing worse for your health and career than playing for an Irsay💀😮💨💯
Isnt the trey lance deal switched?
U forgot one Cowboys traded 1st and 2nd round pick for Amari Cooper
Amari Cooper had a very solid career as a cowboy, they just decided to trade him away for almost nothing so they didnt have to pay him
Mahomes would have sucked in Chicago. He was drafted by KC as a project QB to learn behind Alex Smith and the Chiefs had been a consistently excellent team in the years before Mahomes came along. Mahomes didn't play much in his rookie year (because Alex Smith was still great), whereas he would have been a Day-One started on the Bears. He would have been a bust if that were that case.
I think he would've played better honestly
@@dranova6703Easy to say because it never happened...but those bears teams were horrible. Nobody could have made them work well. When Kendall Wright and Josh Bellamy are your top receivers, it doesn't matter who is throwing to them.
Brett favor 😂👌
Seattle was in the AFC when Largent played 🤦🏻♂️
Not in 1976 & that was his first year with them. They moved to AFC in ‘77
Greg Olsen from Chicago to Carolina
I think your graphic for the Lance trade is wrong. It says Dolphins get Lance.
Your Dolphins-49ers trade for Trey Lance power point is wrong. It says “Dolphins get QB Trey Lance” & ‘9ers get all the picks…
SF not taking Brady after he left the pats was the biggest mistake they made
Because Kyle Shanahan doesn’t like being overshadowed by a veteran superstar.
bears front office would have fd up Mahomes. he would be good but not great
That Brett Favre trade shouldn’t be on the list. Brett wasn’t the best QB on the roster, and admitted himself, that he was more concerned with partying, and drinking
Nobody else but Ron Wolf wanted Favre, who are these “several teams” desperate for a quarterback, nobody else was trading for a 3rd string QB who was missing important organs from a car crash in college…
I think the Texans ended up just fine.
Wilson was only good in Seattle because of the team around him 🤷🏽♂️
Watson is the worst trade of all time already.
Hopkins trade wasnt that bad in hindsight, i think they could have got more for him back then but they won the trade. And the colts got a hall of famer for a guy who refused to play for them, how is that a bad trade?
Trading Hopkins was a dumb trade. Today though it looks like it was a good idea. Trey Lance was a bust. Nothing else needs to be said.
No Johnny Football?
Eric metcalf in the 90s lol, wrong pick.
Brett Favor
Especially since David Johnson had already fell off by then
Russell Wilson??
The chargers getting leaf wasn’t really a bad trade ya leaf sucked but they didn’t give up a HOF player in any of the picks or players they sent over and they needed a qb. If you think about it the trade helped the chargers get brees so it wasn’t bad at all
RGKnee trade not on here....
Don’t put Dan Orlovsky on my screen
Steve Largent was never in the same division as the 49ers. Back when Largent was active the Seahawks were in the AFC west. He didn't "terrorize the 49ers and other NFC teams" he was in the AFC. Please check some facts before making statements like that.
Seahawks were originally an NFC team, but only in ‘76. He must’ve had one helluva season that year?!?!?
Nvm
traded to the washington redskins
Don't see the Hopkins trade as a bad one. He hasn't been worth his money and is on his third team since the trade. The Texans used those picks well and are doing fine.
