Kansas City Chiefs and New Orleans Saints
Kansas City Chiefs Win Tier: standard
Confidence: high
Kansas City acquired linebacker Jack Del Rio from New Orleans on August 17, 1987 for a 1988 fifth-round pick that became No. 112, Greg Scales. Del Rio immediately played 10 games with seven starts for the Chiefs and returned for 15 games with 10 starts in 1988. That two-year defensive role gave Kansas City more direct value than the Saints received from Scales.
