Vikings Win 1986-04-29

Vikings Win 1985-07-19

Vikings received Chuck Muncie; sent 1986 conditional sixth round pick (if Muncie remains with Vikings for the 1985 season) (not exercised).

Vikings Win 1984-09-04

Contingency clause exercised: Vikings received 1985 3rd-round pick (#66-Tim Long) rather than Billy Shields. This is a continuation record for MIN-1984-08-10-0153, not a standalone trade.

Los Angeles Chargers Win 1984-08-10

Vikings sent OT John Turner to Chargers. Initial return was OT Billy Shields, later converted per contingency clause to a 1985 3rd-round pick (#66, Tim Long). Tim Long was a backup OL — modest return for a starter.

Even Trade 1982-05-28

Vikings received 1983 sixth round pick / undisclosed pick (?-?); sent Jeff Siemon.

Los Angeles Chargers Win 1978-07-28

Vikings sent Pro Bowl G Ed White (1969 2nd-rounder from the Tarkenton trade, 1975 All-Pro, 8 seasons in Minnesota) to San Diego and received RB Rickey Young. Young was serviceable (caught 88 passes in 1978, a then-NFL record for RBs) but giving up White — a foundational OL piece — for a running back was a poor long-term decision.

Vikings Win 1973-09-05

Vikings received 1974 second round pick (#29-John Holland); 1974 third round pick (#64-Steve Craig); sent Carl Gersbach; Clint Jones.
