    It was just one month after the 2003 season came to a close.


    Denver’s Clinton Portis was coming off of back-to-back 1,500-yard rushing seasons. Washington’s Champ Bailey had just completed his fifth NFL campaign, having already accumulated 18 interceptions.

    Combined, they had been to five Pro Bowls. And they were about to swap teams.


    “I can’t name a better trade that happened in the NFL since then,” Portis said.


    On March 4, 2004, the Broncos traded Portis to the Redskins in exchange for Bailey and a second-round pick, which the team used on running back Tatum Bell.


    It remains arguably the biggest player-for-player trade in NFL history, and is still one of the most memorable almost 10 years later.


    “What was shocking to me was that the trade was going to be for him and we were going to get traded, because I’d never seen anything like that,” Bailey said. “I’d seen people get traded for draft picks and stuff, but usually players – Pro-Bowl players, at least – don’t get traded like that.”
