Kansas City Chiefs and New York Jets
Kansas City Chiefs Win Tier: standard
Confidence: high
Kansas City reacquired Mecole Hardman from New York in October 2023, receiving the receiver and a 2025 seventh-round pick for a 2025 sixth-rounder. Hardman returned to a familiar offense and delivered the defining payoff months later, catching the overtime touchdown that won Super Bowl LVIII. For a one-round future-pick drop, the Chiefs bought a championship moment and clearly won the exchange.
Arizona Cardinals Win Tier: standard
Confidence: high
Kansas City acquired edge rusher Cameron Thomas from Arizona for a 2025 seventh-round pick, with the league's transaction list recording the trade on August 27, 2024. Thomas appeared in only four games for the Chiefs, logged no defensive statistics and was waived in November. Arizona eventually held the selection used at No. 225, giving the Cardinals the stronger realized value from a small deal.
