Chicago acquired Jimmy Herndon from Jacksonville for a 1998 seventh-round pick. Chicago acquired Jimmy Herndon but received only seven games from him. That brief stint produced limited value and did not become a lasting roster solution. For the Bears, the trade amounted to a short look at a player without the kind of sustained contribution needed to match what Jacksonville later received from the draft choice. In hindsight, that result supports a D+ grade for Chicago Bears in a deal ultimately judged as Jacksonville Jaguars Win.
Chicago Bears received 2003 5th round pick (143rd overall, Justin Gage) in the 2003-04-27 exchange with Jacksonville Jaguars. Justin Gage became a useful NFL receiver and supplied materially more realized value than Jacksonville's three later selections. That gives Chicago Bears the stronger overall return. The transaction still produced a concrete basis for the hindsight grade.
Jacksonville traded Nick Foles to Chicago for the 140th pick in the 2020 draft, which became linebacker Shaquille Quarterman. The Jaguars escaped a quarterback situation that had collapsed after one injury-marred season and recovered a fourth-round asset. Chicago received a veteran challenger to Mitchell Trubisky, but Foles went 2-5 as a Bears starter in 2020 and never solved the franchise's quarterback problem.
Chicago moved up for Tyrique Stevenson, who quickly became a starting cornerback and a substantial part of the Bears' secondary. His career is still developing, but the early return includes meaningful starting snaps and legitimate defensive value at a premium position. That makes Chicago's side productive, though not clearly superior to Jacksonville's two-player return while all three players remain relatively early in their careers.
