Chronological Timeline
Trade 1 of 2
Cincinnati acquired wide receiver Charlie Joiner and linebacker Ron Pritchard from Houston in October 1972 for running backs Paul Robinson and Fred Willis. Joiner later became a Hall of Famer, although most of his legendary production came after Cincinnati sent him to San Diego in 1976.
Trade 2 of 2
Cincinnati acquired defensive end Coy Bacon and immediately benefited from one of the greatest pass-rushing seasons in franchise history: an unofficial 22 sacks in 1976. Los Angeles, however, received Charlie Joiner, who became a Hall of Fame receiver and spent more than a decade with the Chargers. Bacon's impact was real, but Joiner's longevity and elite production give San Diego the clear historical edge.
