Jim Cheyunski

Buffalo acquired 1976 sixth round pick (#175-Darnell Powell) from Indianapolis Colts for Jim Cheyunski. Buffalo converted a player or rights asset into draft capital, which is usually sound portfolio management unless the player became a major contributor elsewhere. Without a clear star outcome attached, the Bills receive a modest value edge for gaining flexible future capital

Buffalo acquired Jim Cheyunski; Halvor Hagen; Mike Montler from New England Patriots for Edgar Chandler; Jeff Lyman; Wayne Patrick. The available record points to a balanced player-for-player exchange rather than a clear steal. Buffalo addressed a roster preference, while the partner received comparable value in return
