During the 1989 NFL season newly hired head coach Jimmy Johnson of the Dallas Cowboys decided that a trade would be the only way for the Cowboys to improve. After evaluating the roster he decided that Heisman Trophy winning running back Herschel Walker presented the best opportunity for compensation than any other Cowboys player. The Minnesota Vikings offered 5 players and 8 future draft picks in return for Herschel Walker and 4 future draft picks. This blockbuster 18 player trade laid the foundation for the Dallas Cowboys Dynasty of the 1990's with 3 Super Bowls victories.
