Trade 1 of 1
Las Vegas Raiders and Minnesota Vikings
Oakland acquired the only transcendent player in the deal, Randy Moss, for Napoleon Harris and two draft selections. Moss still produced a 1,000-yard season in 2005 and remained the most talented asset by a wide margin, even though his two Raiders seasons fell short of his Minnesota and later New England peaks. Because Minnesota failed to convert the premium No. 7 pick into a lasting star, Oakland won the direct exchange without turning it into a franchise-changing success.
