Chronological Timeline
3 Recorded Trades
Trade 1 of 3
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.
Assets Received
Minnesota Vikings
- Pick Napoleon Harris, 2005 1st round pick (7th overall, Troy Williamson) and 2005 7th round pick (219th overall, Adrian Ward)
Las Vegas Raiders

Las Vegas Raiders and New England Patriots
New England's trade for Randy Moss became one of the greatest low-cost star acquisitions in NFL history. The Patriots gave up a fourth-round pick and received a future Hall of Fame receiver who immediately transformed their offense. Oakland moved a frustrated player. New England added a record-setting weapon. The deal became legendary because Moss immediately looked nothing like a declining asset once he joined Tom Brady and the Patriots.
Assets Received
Las Vegas Raiders
- Pick 2007 4th round pick (110th overall, John Bowie)

Minnesota Vikings and New England Patriots
Minnesota reunited Randy Moss with Brett Favre in a win-now move, sending New England a 2011 third-round pick while receiving Moss and a 2012 seventh-rounder. The reunion lasted only four games: Moss caught 13 passes for 174 yards and two touchdowns before the Vikings waived him. New England used pick No. 74 on Ryan Mallett and avoided losing Moss for nothing after the season. The Patriots clearly won despite modest production from Mallett.
Assets Received
Minnesota Vikings
- Player Randy Moss
- Pick 2012 7th round pick (223rd overall; later traded to Detroit as part of a package)
New England Patriots
- Pick 2011 3rd round pick (74th overall, Ryan Mallett)
