Kansas City Chiefs and San Francisco 49ers
Kansas City Chiefs Win Tier: landmark
Confidence: high
Kansas City acquired Joe Montana, David Whitmore, and a 1994 third-round pick from San Francisco for the 1993 first-round pick that became Ernest Dye. Montana gave the Chiefs instant credibility, immediate contention, and an AFC Championship Game run. San Francisco had a real Steve Young succession reason to move on, but the return was modest for an all-time quarterback. That context matters.
