Buffalo Bills and Las Vegas Raiders

Even Trade Tier: major Confidence: high

Buffalo obtained Boston College lineman Jim O'Brien after Oakland lost its AFL signing rights, but the Bills did not send the Raiders a first-round pick. The AFL instead awarded Oakland part of a two-pick package in the 1962 12th round covering the lost rights to O'Brien and C.J. Alexander. This row is corrected from a direct trade to a league compensation action.
