Buffalo Bills and Indianapolis Colts
Buffalo Bills Win Tier: major
Confidence: high
Buffalo obtained the rights to linebacker Cornelius Bennett on October 31, 1987, surrendering Greg Bell plus first-round picks in 1988 and 1989 and a 1989 second-rounder. Bennett became a centerpiece of the Bills defense during the franchise's Super Bowl run, making the premium package worthwhile despite the substantial price Buffalo paid.

Indianapolis Colts Win Tier: landmark

Los Angeles/St. Louis Rams Win Tier: standard
Confidence: high
The Raiders acquired running back Greg Bell from the Rams on June 19, 1990, for a 1991 fourth-round pick that became No. 107, Robert Bailey. Bell had just posted consecutive 1,000-yard rushing seasons in Los Angeles but produced only 164 rushing yards in six games for the Raiders. Bailey became a multi-year NFL defensive back, giving the Rams the stronger long-term return.
