Green Bay Packers and Los Angeles Chargers
Los Angeles Chargers Win Tier: major
Confidence: high
San Diego sent star receiver John Jefferson to Green Bay in 1981 and received Aundra Thompson, a first-round swap, additional first- and second-round choices, and another future second. The Chargers repeatedly recycled those assets into later moves, including the package for Wes Chandler. Jefferson remained productive in Green Bay, but San Diego extracted substantially more total roster-building value.
Pick Chargers option to swap 1982 first round picks with Packers (#13) [later traded with Aundra Thompson and 1982 third round pick (#76-John Krimm) to New Orleans Saints for Wes Chandler]
Pick 1983 first round pick (#20-Gary Anderson (Allan))
Pick 1982 second round pick (#40) [later traded with 1983 third round pick (#80-Steve Moore (a)) to New England Patriots for Tim Fox]
Pick 1984 second round pick (#39) [later traded to New York Jets for Abdul Salaam / Larry Faulk and Kenny Neil]
Los Angeles/San Diego Chargers Win Tier: major
Confidence: high
San Diego quickly used part of the John Jefferson return to acquire Wes Chandler from New Orleans, sending Aundra Thompson plus 1982 first- and third-round picks. Chandler became a premier Chargers receiver and a central piece of the Air Coryell offense. New Orleans did not receive comparable production from the package, giving San Diego a clear and lasting win.
