Silver Minings: Warren Moon nearly a Raider

On a recent episode of the Touchdown Wire NFL Podcast, host Doug Farrar interviewed former NCAA/CFL/NFL coach and offensive innovator June Jones. During their conversation, the coach revealed that Hall of Fame quarterback Warren Moon was nearly traded to the then Los Angeles Raiders.

A few things I learned from talking with Coach:

The Oilers almost traded Warren Moon to the Raiders in 1986.

The 1977 Falcons "Grits Blitz" defense was the precursor to Buddy Ryan's 46.

If you like the Bills' empty packages.
