Los Angeles Chargers and Washington Commanders
Los Angeles/San Diego Chargers Win Tier: major
Confidence: high
The Chargers moved running back Duane Thomas to Washington and received a 1975 first-round pick plus a 1976 second-round pick. The first-rounder became Mike Williams at No. 22 in 1975. Thomas had already been a prominent but volatile back, so San Diego converted a short-term asset into two future chances to replenish the roster.
Washington Commanders Win Tier: minor
Confidence: high
Buffalo Bills received Lamar Parrish / Lemar Parish from Washington for 1982 fifth round pick (#133-Michael Williams (a) / Mike Williams). The recorded outcome favors Washington Commanders.
Jacksonville Jaguars acquired Pete Mitchell from Miami Dolphins for Mike Williams. The available record does not show enough separation to call a clear long-term winner.
Las Vegas Raiders Win Tier: standard
Confidence: high
The then-Oakland Raiders acquired Josh McCown and former first-round receiver Mike Williams from Detroit for the 105th pick in the 2007 draft. McCown started nine games and threw 10 touchdowns for Oakland, while Williams was waived during the season. Detroit used the fourth-rounder on A.J. Davis and did not gain enough from the pick to overcome McCown's short-term value.
Tampa Bay Buccaneers Win Tier: minor
Confidence: high
Buffalo Bills acquired Mike Williams from Tampa Bay Buccaneers for 2014 6th round pick (185th overall, Robert Herron); 2014 6th round pick (185th overall; Robert Herron). The overall result favors Tampa Bay Buccaneers over Buffalo Bills.
Pittsburgh acquired Mike Williams from the Jets for a 2025 fifth-round pick, hoping a veteran deep threat could strengthen a playoff-bound offense. Williams caught nine passes for 132 yards and one touchdown in nine regular-season games, then added one 37-yard playoff catch. New York used the pick on linebacker Francisco Mauigoa, who started eight games as a rookie. The continuing rookie-contract value now gives the Jets the stronger return.
