In 1978, the Bills traded a now injury-ridden O. J. Simpson to the San Francisco 49ers for draft picks, including the 49ers 1979 first round pick...which turned into the number 1 pick overall. The Bills used the pick to draft Tom Cousineau, who spurned the Bills for the CFL. Then, in 1982, the Bills traded Cousineau's rights to the Cleveland Browns for their 1983 first round pick, among others. The Bills uses Cleveland's pick to draft Jim Kelly. The rest is history.

How about Top Ten NFL players who don't deserve The Bust Label & Top Ten Who Do

[DaSledgeCat]

As a Bears fan, Mirer was the first player I thought about.

And Wannstedt was part of the Williams trade with NO too.

7:37 Damn I didn't realize how old Marvin Harrison Jr was, can't believe I got to watch him in college last year 😂

[zackbardwell]

7:42 didn’t know MHJ was that old haha😂

[ericksolis]

Crazy how back in the day teams would give up multiple 1st round picks for running backs.

[eliteer]

Redskins missing Marvin Harrison Junior is crazy

[diehardeaglesfansince]

hes not a player but alot of people forget belichick was traded to the pats which was one of the best trades ever for the pats

[Gungho]

I still think the craziest part of the Ricky Williams story is Cincinnati going, nuh-uh, we're staying pat and drafting Akili Smith! He's our guy of the future.

[brandonowens]

Crazy how Howie fleeced the colts and Vikings and what he ended up using them picks to create

[SnuggieMaple]

Andre Rison was a stud in Atlanta he made 1st team all pro once and 2nd team 3 times and made 4 pro bowls

He later made another with the Chiefs

He played professional football for over 15 years and won a SB and Grey cup

Overall not too bad for the Falcons and he was able to score an NFL record of tds with different teams (7)

He was one of the best WR’s during his time with the Falcons then he kinda bounced around

Ricky Williams to the right team, and not testing for weed. For f--king weed! NFL zero tolerance policy. I want to see every owners blood laid out for us to scrutinize. I mean you look at the Panthers ownership, they have to be on something!

[Eddieavina]

Love your video TPS and keep up the great work you are awesome

The saddest part of the Trent Richardson trade was the facts that they took Bjorn Werner the previous year and Philip Dorsett the year following.
Ryan Grigson should have been catapulted into the sun.

[lambert]

What goes into an NFL bust I think Poor Attitude like Ryan Leaf Poor Play like Trent Richardson

[khylejoseph]

Atlanta falcons traded for peerless price from Buffalo bills

[eddisonfoncette]

We are forever grateful to Da Bears for giving us a 1st and taking Mirer off our hands. 😊Go Hawks

Cleveland and the colts took L in that trade

[leonzaduncan]

Why no one remembers Ricky Williams was good in new Orleans, it just was a bad trade. In 2000, he was 2nd in the NFL rushing, the saints were 7-3 then he got hurt.

Guess now we know why the Packers are smart with QB progress now
