1989: Minnesota Vikings aquire RB Herschell Walker from Dallas Cowboys for 11 Draft Picks
This trade is pretty infamous. Clearly the Cowboys helped themselves at the Vikings expense on this one despite the fact that Walker was still decent. He just wasn't worth that much that late in his career and Vikings desparately wanted to win a championship.

1974: Green Bay Packers acquire QB John Hadl from LA Rams for 5 Top Draft Picks
Hadl wasn't even a starter anymore and he was old at the time of the trade. He never helped the Packers and cost a ton.
