Yes. Trades for Jerry Rice, Tony Dorsett, Earl Campbell, Dick Butkus, Eric Dickerson, Michael Vick, and Julio Jones.

Jerry Rice wasn't a mega-deal, the 49ers traded their first two picks to move up to 16 to get him.

I'm talking MEGA-deals, i.e. the Redskins give up 3 ones and a 2 for RG3. The Saints give up an entire draft for Ricky Williams.

I'll concede the Dickerson and Dorsett deals as both were worth it, but the Butkus trade wasn't a mega-deal and Vick was absolutely not worth it.

A lot more mega-busts than mega-deals. Look at RG3 for example.....

Warthog, I tried sending you a couple PMs, but it doesn't look like it worked. Anyway if they didn't check out my parking lot post on Kratom for back trouble.
