OT: Bigger WTF trade?

[WhatJustHappened]

Bogie kind of sucks now, Devers was a PITA and Sale while here was never healthy, gets traded and wins the Cy Young. Betts is the X factor but I am not as high on Betts as some others are.

Sale was FINALLY HEALTHY after TJ, broken ribs, and broken finger from being stupid.
History showed when he was healthy, he was a STALLION.
Trading him for a LOSER was the worst thing ever.
Dumbass.

If we had traded Gronk when he Bill was threatening to trade him to the Lions? That's the closest I can think of.

Bill actually had a trade in place with Patricia/Lions for a 1st round pick. When Gronk found out, he told the Pats he was retiring so the Lions backed out. If the trade went down, I think they definitely would've taken Lamar Jackson with one of their 3 first round picks.

Seymour to the Raiders was a WTF, Also trading Shaq Mason made no sense. And of course trading Chandler Jones for a bag of magic beans was awful too!

I'm not a fan of trading key players on a good team when there was much at stake. Pats had a weakening defense and trading Seymour was not a good move, even for a 1st round pick which is unknown. Not only that, they couldn't use it for two years after the trade went down. I'd take two good years of Seymour and potentially making a difference in the playoffs vs the Jets/Giants than for a player who is an unknown.

Chandler Jones was an even worse trade. He was an ascending Pro Bowl (future All Pro and runner up for DPOY) player at 25 years old, but they traded him for a measly 2nd round pick and bust OL as a throw in? I would've at least kept him for 2016 and let him go after that season if his contract demands where too high.

Shaq Mason was alright, but his trade created a need at G which they then blew a 1st round pick on.

You're forgetting (or omitting) the fact that Jones had recently wandered shirtless and confused into a neighborhood police station.

That wasn't the end to his troubles. He was arrested for violating a protection order in 2023, and then there's this:

I knew about that and left it out because it wasn't relevant. He played both against the Chiefs and Broncos after the shirtless incident which was completely overblown. During his best years with the Cardinals, he was fine. It was with the Raiders he started to lose it.
