I like how we all just pretend that Keenan Allen was a part of this trade because it makes it funnier.
The Herschel Walker trade, which took place on October 12, 1989, between the Dallas Cowboys and the Minnesota Vikings, was a complex and multi-faceted deal. Here are the key components:
1. **Dallas Cowboys received:** – 5 players: LB Jesse Solomon, LB David Howard, CB Issiac Holt, RB Darrin Nelson (later traded to San Diego Chargers), DE Alex Stewart (later traded to New England Patriots). – 3 first-round picks: 1990, 1991, and 1992. – 3 second-round picks: 1990, 1991, and 1992. – 1 third-round pick: 1990. – 1 sixth-round pick: 1990.
2. **Minnesota Vikings received:** – Herschel Walker, RB. – Dallas’ third-round pick in 1990. – Dallas’ tenth-round pick in 1990.
Additionally, the Cowboys also sent their conditional 1992 pick (which became a 3rd rounder) to the Vikings.
This trade is often considered one of the most lopsided deals in NFL history, as the draft picks acquired by the Cowboys helped build the foundation of their 1990s dynasty, while Walker’s impact with the Vikings was not as significant as expected.
Allen was not a part of this trade.
It’s gonna end up being Caleb, DJ, Wright, Tyrique & a ‘25 second.
Absolute robbery. This is why Fitterer is out of a job.
Ricky Williams trade.
If Caleb lives up to the hype, it’ll be the worst trade in NFL history (including Walker).
Definitely one of them. I mean, its sort of a poorly kept secret that every organization goes into these pre-draft trades telling themselves “don’t make the same mistake as the panthers”
So far
In my opinion the Bryce trade is 5th for now. Will move up to 4th assuming Caleb pans out.
# #1 Herschel, #2 Ricky Williams, #3 DeShaun Watson, #4 Russell Wilson then #5 Bryce Young Trade.
Which Ironically Bears have been directly impacted by two of them.
edit, meant #3 for Deshaun not #5 as well
The Russell Wilson trade was pretty lop sided also.
But of course if you bring up poles to someone all they remember is Claypool
Why is Keenan Allen in here? He should be removed with ‘4th round pick in 2024 draft’ added.
If you need to exgerate the trade, it isn’t as impressive as Herschel Walker .
Did we use a pick we received from Carolina to acquire Allen?
They’re getting absolutely raked on a value perspective just by the 1st this year being #1.
If Caleb is as good as advertised and turns the Bears into a winning team, then we can talk about it being a genuine all-time trade. It definitely looks like one right now, though, that’s for sure.
Time will tell….
Walker trade and maybe the Wilson trade just cause he isn’t on Denver anymore for what they gave up
It’s incredible that even AFTER they select Caleb Williams, the Bears will STILL have another 2nd round pick coming from this trade.
Thanks “Mr. Haney”, but I think we’ll pass.
You can change that to Caleb Williams
I feel like the Watson trade is a bit more humiliating…however it can really only be ranked in like 5 or more years. The Herschel Walker we can see the full impact and outcome. Houston already turned themselves into a contender. Will see what the Bears do with Caleb. I fully expect him to surpass Brady so yeah..
I would also rank the Ricky Williams trade as more lopsided than this one.
Feel bad for Bryce he’s gonna forever be compred to Caleb like Trubisky was to Mahomes.
Ever heard of Herschel Walker? Or Ricky Williams?
Don’t get me wrong – we got a haul, but nothing like those two.
Only if Bryce isn’t a franchise starter. Doesn’t even need to be a super bowl champion.
But I’d make the same trade if it meant a ten year + starter which usually means a realistic shot at a Super bowl.
Can we stop this? The trade was fair at the time it was made.
The Bears gave up 3000 in chart value and got back draft picks worth 2500 in chart value and DJ Moore. The 500 point difference for DJ Moore is the equivalent of the 40th pick. Before this last year I think it would be fair to say DJ Moore was worth at most around pick 20 or a 350 point QB premium.
The results of the trade have turned out to be lopsided but no one could have come close to foreseeing that Bryce Young would have one of the worst rookie seasons a QB has had in decades.
Depending upon what happens with these 2 remaining picks this year and next it COULD go down as one of the most lopsided ever. It’s no Herschel Walker, but it could be up there
Poles bent the entire Panthers organization over the barrel and absolutely had his way with em
FINESSED! 🐻⬇️🐻⬇️
If Caleb’s like an elite level player, idk hard to say it’s not at least one of the top ones (though the Herschel Walker one is crazy).
Maybe if you’re less than 10 years old.
Not even close
This trade is up there 🤣🤣
What about Bo Callahan? All those draft picks for Bo Callahan you pancake eating mother fuckers
Give it 2 more years. It’s still reasonably possible that Bryce gets some help and balls, and Caleb ends up busting. It’s just too early to count our chickens
How is Keenan Allen a part of this?
It’s top two forsure. But Keenan has nothing to do with this
