Herschel, between destroying the Vikes as a competitor and effectively gifting the Cowboys the talent to win 3 SBs.

If Seattle takes what they got for Wilson and starts winning more SBs, then we can talk.

The Walker changed the NFL. Jimmy built a crazy good team based on that.

Draft picks vs. Money, cap space?

At a press conference after the trade, Johnson bragged that he committed "The Great Train Robbery”.

Johnson cut the players he traded for to keep all the draft picks under the deal.

Minnesota's 1st round pick in 1990
Minnesota's 2nd round pick in 1990
Minnesota's 6th round pick in 1990
Minnesota's 1st round pick in 1991 (conditional on cutting Solomon)
Minnesota's 2nd round pick in 1991 (conditional on cutting Howard)
Minnesota's 1st round pick in 1992 (conditional on cutting Holt)
Minnesota's 2nd round pick in 1992 (condition met by trading away Nelson)
Minnesota's 3rd round pick in 1992 (conditional on cutting Stewart)

Naw. You need to check what the Vikings did in the 90s. Went to the playoffs 7 times and only had one losing season (Walker’s first full season with them). The trade hurt but didn’t destroy the franchise.

The Broncos wasted 2 seasons with Russell, have to punt on a third, and likely a 4th before they can even be a playoff team again. The Walker trade was a fleecing but at least understandable (all-pro RB in his prime) Everyone told the Broncos not to make this trade since Russell was cooked and then they doubled down on it with the extension - which he didn’t even make it to.
