Green Bay Packers and Jacksonville Jaguars
Jacksonville acquired Mark Brunell from Green Bay for a third-round pick that became William Henderson and a fifth-round pick that became Travis Jervey. Henderson became a quality fullback for Green Bay, but Brunell became Jacksonville's franchise quarterback and led the Jaguars to two AFC Championship Games. This is a clear Jaguars win and one of the defining trades in franchise history.

Trade Analysis
The Packers received a useful player in William Henderson, but they moved a blocked backup quarterback who became the best quarterback in Jaguars history. Brunell gave Jacksonville a franchise identity, playoff credibility, and long-term quarterback stability for two mid-round picks. Green Bay softened the loss with Henderson, but Jacksonville captured the franchise-altering value.
