Arizona Cardinals and Las Vegas Raiders
Arizona Cardinals Win Tier: major
Confidence: high
Arizona acquired Carson Palmer and a seventh-round pick for a sixth-rounder plus a conditional 2014 seventh. Palmer became the Cardinals' long-term starter, went 38-21-1 in regular-season starts for Arizona and delivered a 13-3 season with an NFC Championship Game appearance in 2015. Oakland moved up 43 spots in the 2013 draft and later received the pick used on Shelby Harris, but the Raiders realized little lasting value from those assets. Arizona won decisively.
Seattle's Russell Wilson trade became one of the clearest modern examples of selling a star at the perfect time. Denver paid a massive price for a quarterback solution that quickly collapsed, while the Seahawks turned the return into the start of a roster reset and avoided the steep downside of Wilson's decline. The deal remains a defining warning about paying peak price for a player whose best version may already be gone.
