Buffalo Bills and Los Angeles Chargers
The Chargers acquired safety Martin Bayless from Buffalo for defensive back Wayne Davis in late August 1987. Bayless immediately started all 12 games of the strike-shortened season and remained a regular Chargers starter for years, while Davis produced a much smaller Buffalo return. The one-for-one player swap generated clear long-term value for San Diego.
