On March 19, 2004, the Tampa Bay Buccaneers traded wide receiver Keyshawn Johnson to the Dallas Cowboys straight up for wide receiver Joey Galloway. It proved to be a fantastic move for Jon Gruden's Buccaneers.
Johnson had helped the Buccaneers win Super Bowl XXXVII after the 2002 season, but by the end of the 2003 campaign he had been deactivated and asked to stay away from the team. Galloway had gone to Dallas in a blockbuster 2000 trade with Seattle involving two first-round picks but had failed to record a 1,000-yard season in four years with the Cowboys.
