Chronological Timeline
3 Recorded Trades
Trade 1 of 3
Buffalo Bills and Las Vegas Raiders
Buffalo received Hank Rivera, Pete Nicklas, and George Shirkey in the three-player package. The group did not provide lasting Bills value comparable to what Archie Matsos immediately became in Oakland. Buffalo gained multiple players and therefore more short-term options, but the package failed to yield a long-term centerpiece or a comparable level of high-end defensive production.

Denver Broncos and Los Angeles Chargers
San Diego acquired veteran linebacker Archie Matsos from Denver during the 1966 season after Chargers middle linebacker Chuck Allen was lost to a broken leg. Matsos appeared in four regular-season games for San Diego and started all four. The reviewed public record confirms the player movement but does not identify a specific Denver draft-pick return, so the older two-pick description is removed rather than preserved as fact.
Assets Received
Los Angeles Chargers
- Player Archie Matsos
Denver Broncos
- Other undisclosed consideration (details not identified)
