Green Bay Packers and Los Angeles Chargers

Los Angeles Chargers Win Tier: major Confidence: high

San Diego sent star receiver John Jefferson to Green Bay in 1981 and received Aundra Thompson, a first-round swap, additional first- and second-round choices, and another future second. The Chargers repeatedly recycled those assets into later moves, including the package for Wes Chandler. Jefferson remained productive in Green Bay, but San Diego extracted substantially more total roster-building value.

Los Angeles Chargers and New Orleans Saints

Los Angeles/San Diego Chargers Win Tier: major Confidence: high

San Diego quickly used part of the John Jefferson return to acquire Wes Chandler from New Orleans, sending Aundra Thompson plus 1982 first- and third-round picks. Chandler became a premier Chargers receiver and a central piece of the Air Coryell offense. New Orleans did not receive comparable production from the package, giving San Diego a clear and lasting win.

Assets Received

Los Angeles Chargers
  • Player Wes Chandler
New Orleans Saints
  • Player Aundra Thompson
  • Pick 1982 first round pick (#13-Lindsay Scott)

Los Angeles Chargers and San Francisco 49ers

San Francisco 49ers Win Tier: minor Confidence: high

San Francisco 49ers received Wes Chandler from Los Angeles/San Diego Chargers for Fred Quillan (later changed to 1989 seventh round pick (#195-Terrance Jones)) and 1990 seventh round pick (#193-Keith Collins) when Quillan did not report). The recorded outcome favors San Francisco 49ers.
