Minnesota Vikings Win
Seattle traded WR Ahmad Rashad, still listed in some records under his former name Bobby Moore, to Minnesota for a 1977 4th-round pick that became Larry Seivers. The Vikings received the lasting value: Rashad became a major piece of their late-1970s passing game. This row needed identity cleanup because Ahmad Rashad and Bobby Moore are the same player. From a trade-value standpoint, Seattle moved a future Vikings receiving star for a mid-round pick; Minnesota received the clear long-term value as Rashad became one of Fran Tarkenton's key targets.
