For today’s Throwback Thursday moment presented by SUBWAY® restaurants, Redskins.com looks back at the Redskins making a trade in 2005 to acquire now-all-time-great wide receiver Santana Moss.
Santana Moss would have never gotten his “Cowboy Killer” nickname had he never joined the Washington Redskins.
On March 10, 2005, the Redskins pulled the trigger on a wide receiver-for-wide receiver trade, sending Laveranues Coles to the New York Jets in exchange for Moss, who had amassed 119 receptions for 1,943 yards and 15 touchdowns in his final two seasons as a New York Jet.
