Las Vegas Raiders and Tennessee Titans
The Raiders traded Hall of Fame tight end Dave Casper to Houston in October 1980 for a first-round pick and two second-round picks. Houston still received a productive, Pro Bowl-level veteran, so its side was not an F. Oakland, however, used the package on Ted Watts, Hall of Famer Howie Long, and Super Bowl XVIII hero Jack Squirek, creating extraordinary long-term value.
