Vikings Win
Minnesota acquired Warren Moon for a 1994 fourth-round pick and a 1995 third-round pick. Moon immediately stabilized the offense, threw for major production in Minnesota, and gave the franchise credible veteran quarterback play during the mid-1990s. The cost was real but nowhere close to an F-level loss.

Trade Analysis
Minnesota acquired Warren Moon for a 1994 fourth-round pick and a 1995 third-round pick. Moon immediately stabilized the offense, threw for major production in Minnesota, and gave the franchise credible veteran quarterback play during the mid-1990s. The cost was real but nowhere close to an F-level loss. Houston moved on from an aging franchise quarterback and received two mid-round picks, including the selections tied to Mike Davis and Rodney Thomas. The return was modest compared with Moon’s remaining production, but it fit the Oilers’ transition timeline.
