Say what you want about the “Approximate Value” statistic created by Pro Football Reference (shoutout to coldpizza), but it’s a fairly simple concept where all NFL players, regardless of generation and position, can be statistically compared to other players. Using this tool, numberFire named the 10 most lopsided trades in NFL history. This was done by adding up the AV stat for all players given up by one team in an NFL trade and comparing that to the AV stat for all players received (or players selected from draft picks received) in a trade. Coming in as the 7th most lopsided trade in NFL history: the Saints stealing Jahri Evans in 2006.
