Champ Bailey

Denver received Champ Bailey and the 2004 2nd round pick that became Tatum Bell. Washington received Clinton Portis. The final review favors Denver because Bailey became a Hall of Fame cornerback, the Broncos also received premium draft capital, and Portis' strong Washington production still did not match the long-term positional value Denver secured.

Washington Commanders received 1999 1st round pick (7th overall, Champ Bailey). Chicago Bears received 1999 1st round pick (12th overall, Cade McNown), 1999 3rd round pick (71st overall, D'Wayne Bates), 1999 4th round pick (106th overall, Warrick Holdman), 1999 5th round pick (143rd overall, Jerry Wisne) and 2000 3rd round pick (87th overall, Dustin Lyman). The final review favors Washington Commanders because that return produced stronger practical football value.
