Transaction Snapshot
Recorded Trade
Trade 1 of 1
Las Vegas Raiders and Tampa Bay Buccaneers
The Raiders received the 1978 sixth-round pick used on Tom Davis and the 1979 sixth-round pick used on Ira Matthews in exchange for linebacker Rik Bonness. Matthews became the more useful Oakland return, appearing in 37 games and contributing in the return game. Two late selections created real value, but the overall payoff was modest enough to support a C+ grade rather than a clear victory.
Assets Received
Las Vegas Raiders
- Pick 1978 sixth round pick (#140-Tom Davis)
