With news just breaking that Ben Simmons in the NBA again will miss the remainder of a season, it had me wondering how many NFL trades everyone was saying at the time was a massive mistake, and did not need the benefit of hindsight.

Jimmy Johnson seemed to know in 1989 that he just robbed the Vikings, but there was a camp who supported the trade at the time.
