    In the wake of the Lewan suspension - it had me thinking how good of trade the Dennis Kelly acquisition was. And with training camp nearly here - there’s time for one last random/pointless post.

    Since 1997 Tennessee Oilers/Titans

    Here are the top 5 deals that the Oilers/Titans made out like bandits on.

    Looking back it’s apparent. The Titans own the Eagles when it comes to trading.

    The honorable mention that did not crack the top 5.

    Honorable Mention:

    2017
    Philadelphia receives 2 2017 Draft Picks RD 5 # 164 and RD 6 # 214 turned into Isaac Asiata and Elijah Qualls

    Tennessee receives 2017 Draft Pick RD 5 # 155 turned into Jayon Brown

    The List:

    # 5

    2016
    Philadelphia receives 2016 Draft Pick RD 4 # 100 turned into Connor Cook

    Tennessee receives DeMarco Murray

    2005
    Detroit receives 2005 Draft Pick RD 2 #37 turned into Shaun Cody

    Tennessee receives RD 2 and RD 4 # 41 and # 113 turned into Michael Roos and David “Big Country” Stewart

    #1

    1997
    Atlanta receives Chris Chandler

    Tennessee receives 2 draft picks in 1997. One was turned into Derrick Mason RD4 # 98

    With trades there’s always ones you want back.

    2015
    Trading with New York - the G-men landed Landon Collins in the draft (whom was the #1 paid safety of all-time as of yesterday before Byard one upped him).

    Titans moved back and got 3 players in the draft : DGB, Jalston Fowler and Tre McBride.

    But the #1 worst trade in Tennessee history.

    #1

    1997
    Kansas City receives 2 Draft Picks in 97 one was turned into Tony Gonzalez RD 1 #13

    Tennessee receives 4 Draft Picks in 97 (including moving back a few spots off of Tony G) one was turned into Kenny Holmes RD 1 #18

    So yes McNair “could” have been throwing to Tony Gonzalez and Randy Moss in the 90s ... well damn.

    Kinda gives me a sour stomach even thinking of what could have been.

    Imagine the Madden games. The Titans offense alone would have broke the game.

    Frank Wycheck was on the roster , not sure if they knew what they had with Frank the Tank to pass on any TE that early. Honestly don’t even remember if Tony G was highly touted and talked up in the draft back in 97.
