The top 3 trade deadline moves of all time

#3 - Jalen Ramsey, Jacksonville Jaguars to Los Angeles Rams

The move for Jalen Ramsey at the trade deadline was a blockbuster. The Rams gave up a ton to get him, but he was worth it. He is the best cornerback in the NFL and a staple, along with Aaron Donald, in one of the best defenses in the league. He is a playmaker and a difference-maker.

#2 - Marshawn Lynch, Buffalo Bills to Seattle Seahawks

Trading for Marshawn Lynch was one of the finishing touches to the great Seattle Seahawks run. Lynch was a solid running back for the Bills but took his game to the next level in Seattle. He was one of the best running backs in the NFL and more than earned his nickname, Beast Mode. He was a key contributor to the Seahawks' back-to-back Super Bowl appearances.

#1 - Herschel Walker, Dallas Cowboys to Minnesota Vikings

The trade deadline move involving Herschel Walker may have been the biggest blockbuster in NFL history. Jerry Jones sent one of the top running backs in the NFL to the Vikings for a considerable package, including players and a bunch of top draft picks. It went down in history as a move that initiated the Cowboys dynasty in the 1990s when they won three Super Bowls.
