Los Angeles Chargers and Miami Dolphins
San Diego acquired linebacker Bob Bruggers from Miami during the 1968 season for cash. Bruggers played five games for the Chargers that year, then remained with the club through 1971 and accumulated 33 games with 14 starts for San Diego. Miami received financial consideration but no lasting football asset. The multi-season linebacker service makes the Chargers the better side of the deal.

Cincinnati Bengals and Los Angeles Chargers
Cincinnati acquired linebacker Bob Bruggers from San Diego for veteran tackle Ernie Wright on May 9, 1972. Bruggers was released before the Bengals’ regular season and never appeared in a game for Cincinnati, while Wright returned to the Chargers and started 13 of 14 games that year. That clear difference in immediate playing value gives San Diego the hindsight edge.
