1. Worst trade in team history. The Falcons cut bait on their medical gamble on quarterback Brett Favre before he could develop into a player.
We don’t have to rehash his dubious stay in Atlanta, the parties in Buckhead nor that Jerry Glanville forced a trade to the Green Bay Packers.
Before the 1991 draft, Favre’s medical history scared off a lot of teams and the Falcons nearly got him back because the Packers’ doctors would not pass him on physical.
Green Bay general manager Ron Wolf, an Al Davis disciple who was trying to revive his career after a failed stop in Tampa Bay, stepped in and vetoed the doctor’s decision.
