Indianapolis Colts and Tampa Bay Buccaneers
Tampa Bay acquired quarterback Chris Chandler from Indianapolis in July 1990 and surrendered its 1992 first-round pick. The choice became No. 2 overall, where the Colts selected linebacker Quentin Coryatt. Chandler's Buccaneers stint was brief and unsuccessful, while Coryatt became a six-year Indianapolis starter, creating a severe value gap in the Colts' favor.

Atlanta Falcons and Tennessee Titans
Atlanta acquired quarterback Chris Chandler from the Houston Oilers in 1997 for the 98th and 165th selections. Chandler became a Pro Bowl quarterback and led the 1998 Falcons to the franchise's first Super Bowl appearance, giving Atlanta an enormous return from two mid-round picks. His championship-season peak made the veteran acquisition one of the most productive outcomes in the exchange.
