Oldest to newest

Trade 1

August 7, 1975

Oakland Raiders Win
Las Vegas Raiders A-
Philadelphia Eagles C

Las Vegas Raiders received

  • 1977 second round pick (#35-Mike Davis (Leonard))

Philadelphia Eagles received

  • James McAlister

Oakland sent James McAlister to Philadelphia for a future second-round pick, then used the No. 35 selection in 1977 on defensive back Mike Davis. McAlister gave the Eagles useful short-term offense, but Davis played 115 games for the Raiders and became a durable secondary contributor during a championship era. The longer, more valuable return gives Oakland the win without making Philadelphia's side a total miss.

  • Ken Payne

Philadelphia Eagles received

  • future draft consideration (selection not identified)

Philadelphia sent receiver Ken Payne to Oakland on March 7, 1979, for future draft consideration whose exact selection is not securely identified. Payne never played a regular-season game for the Raiders and was released before the season. Philadelphia's downstream return cannot be tied to a specific draftee, but Oakland's player side clearly produced no regular-season value.

Las Vegas Raiders received

  • Jerry Robinson

Philadelphia Eagles received

  • 1986 second round pick (#48-Alonzo Johnson)

The Raiders acquired veteran linebacker Jerry Robinson from Philadelphia on September 30, 1985, for a 1986 second-round pick that eventually reached the Eagles and became Alonzo Johnson at No. 48. Robinson then gave the Raiders seven seasons, 97 games and 70 starts, providing far more sustained defensive value than Philadelphia ultimately received from Johnson.

August 24, 1999

Las Vegas Raiders Win
Las Vegas Raiders B-
Philadelphia Eagles D+

Las Vegas Raiders received

  • Bobby Hoying

Philadelphia Eagles received

  • 2000 6th round pick (178th overall, John Frank)

Las Vegas Raiders received Bobby Hoying. Bobby Hoying supplied useful backup-quarterback service and was part of Oakland's 2000 postseason run after arriving from Philadelphia. That outcome supports a B- grade because the return is measured by the direct football value Las Vegas Raiders actually received after the deal, compared with the asset sent the other way.
