ESPN cites all-time best trades by 49ers, Raiders

Jerry Rice and Ted Hendricks.

One of them is in the Pro Football Hall of Fame as perhaps the greatest receiver in NFL history. The other was a 6-foot-7, 220-pound linebacker known as the Mad Stork.

What they have in common is they’re both part of ESPN’s Best Trade every NFL team has ever made.

Rice was inducted at Canton in 2010 with nearly 13 miles of receiving yardage and more than 200 total touchdowns.

Hendricks played nine of his 15 seasons with the Raiders, and was part of all three Super Bowl championship squads.
