Throughout their history has a franchise, the Minnesota Vikings have executed a number of headline-making trades. Some of the best players to ever suit up for the Vikings were added to the roster as a result of a trade including Jared Allen and Fran Tarkenton (the second time around).
Minnesota has made a number of trades during the offseason and the NFL Draft, but the Vikings also have not been afraid to pull the trigger during the middle of the season either.
Even this year, Minnesota acquired offensive lineman Brett Jones in a trade with the New York Giants back in August.
