Trade 1

August 31, 2009

Los Angeles Chargers Win
Houston Texans C+
Los Angeles Chargers B

Houston Texans received

  • 2010 6th round pick (197th overall, Trindon Holliday)

Los Angeles Chargers received

  • Travis Johnson

Houston Texans received 2010 6th round pick (197th overall, Trindon Holliday). Houston received a 2010 sixth-round pick that became No. 197 Trindon Holliday, giving the Texans a later draft asset from the exchange. That result supports a C+ for Houston Texans. The overall comparison favors Los Angeles Chargers, leaving Houston Texans on the weaker side of the exchange. The grade reflects the realized player service and draft value tied directly to this transaction, without assigning extra credit for outcomes that cannot be traced confidently to the exchanged assets.

Trade 2

Even Trade
Houston Texans C+
Los Angeles Chargers C+

Houston Texans received

  • a conditional 2027 pick (7th round)

Los Angeles Chargers received

  • Austin Deculus

Houston moved Austin Deculus to Los Angeles for a conditional 2027 seventh-round pick that ultimately conveyed. Deculus gave the Chargers 13 games and five starts in 2025, then departed for Tennessee in free agency. Houston now owns a real seventh-round asset, but its football outcome cannot be judged before the 2027 draft. With tangible but limited value on one side and unresolved future value on the other, the deal remains even for now.

Even Trade
Houston Texans C
Los Angeles Chargers C

Houston Texans received

  • 2026 4th round pick (123rd overall, Wade Woodaz)
  • 2026 6th round pick (204th overall, Lewis Bond)

Los Angeles Chargers received

  • 2026 4th round pick (117th overall, Travis Burke)

Houston Texans received 2026 4th round pick (123rd overall, Wade Woodaz) and 2026 6th round pick (204th overall, Lewis Bond) in the 2026-04-25 exchange with Los Angeles Chargers. Wade Woodaz and Lewis Bond likewise remain at the beginning of their NFL careers, so Houston's return is still unresolved in performance terms. The direct package, rather than later movement of any acquired asset, is the basis for the hindsight judgment. Against what Houston Texans surrendered, the result supports Even Trade.
