What team participated in a trade with the Cowboys in the late 80's to enable the Cowboys to start the three headed monster of Aikman Irvin and Smith?

Answer 1

The Cowboys traded Herschel Walker and four draft picks to the Minnesota Vikings for Jesse Solomon, David Howard, Issaic Holt, Darrin Nelson, Alex Stewart, and eight draft choices. One of those draft choices was used to select Emmitt Smith.

Answer 2

Minnesota Vikings.

True, but Irvin and Aikman were drafted by the Cowboys before the Walker trade. So the Vikings had nothing to do with them being in Dallas. Only the acquisition of Emmitt Smith can be attributed to the Walker trade.
