The Biggest Game: This Trade Built the Team of the 90's
Today on The Biggest Game, former Dallas Cowboys head coach Jimmy Johnson, the architect of the team of the 90's, explains how the most crucial building block in the Cowboys' dynasty wasn't named Troy Aikman, Emmitt Smith, or Michael Irvin. His name was Herschel Walker. Because trading Walker to the Minnesota Vikings on October 12, 1989 gave Dallas five players and three draft picks to jump start their rebuild. But for Jimmy Johnson, it was getting the option to cut those players in exchange for Vikings draft picks that changed everything. Coach Johnson, former Cowboys safety Darren Woodson, longtime Dallas media members Norm Hitzges and Ron St. Angelo, and Minnesota radio voice Dan Barreiro break it all down, on The Biggest Game.
