I might be outing myself as a 31-year-old here, but I genuinely had no idea that Hall of Fame running back Eric Dickerson was once traded to the Green Bay Packers until I saw a comment from “unrine-monkey” on the /r/Oldschool_NFL subreddit. I cannot believe I actually wrote that, but offseason content is offseason content.
Here’s what happened: In the 1993 offseason, the Los Angeles Raiders, another team I had no idea Dickerson played for, sent the running back to the Atlanta Falcons for a sixth-round pick. His stint with Atlanta lasted all of four games before the Falcons decided to make the trade and send Dickerson to Green Bay.
