Green Bay acquired Charles Jordan, who appeared in 16 Packers games across the 1994 and 1995 seasons. His clearest contribution came in 1995, when he caught seven passes for 117 yards and two touchdowns. That was a limited role, but it represented actual regular-season production and gave Green Bay a tangible return from a transaction that otherwise involved modest assets.

Trade Analysis
The Exchange
On 1994-08-28, Green Bay Packers received Charles Jordan, while Las Vegas Raiders received 1995 5th round pick (152nd overall subsequently traded, Rich Owens). The evaluation follows the value actually created by the consideration each club controlled, while later transactions involving an acquired pick are treated as separate provenance rather than automatically credited back to this deal.
Green Bay Packers Return
Green Bay acquired Charles Jordan, who appeared in 16 Packers games across the 1994 and 1995 seasons. His clearest contribution came in 1995, when he caught seven passes for 117 yards and two touchdowns. That was a limited role, but it represented actual regular-season production and gave Green Bay a tangible return from a transaction that otherwise involved modest assets.
Las Vegas Raiders Return
The Raiders received the 1995 No. 152 pick, then combined that selection with No. 226 in a later move up to No. 138. Because the acquired pick was only one component of that separate trade-up, the later selection cannot be credited wholly to this transaction. The original return therefore produced less direct Raiders value than Green Bay received from Charles Jordan.
Value in Hindsight
Green Bay received Charles Jordan, who appeared in 16 Packers games across 1994-95 and caught seven passes for 117 yards and two touchdowns in 1995. The Raiders received No. 152, then packaged it with No. 226 to move to No. 138 for Matt Dyson. Dyson played only four Raiders games. Because the acquired pick was only part of that later trade-up, the original Raider return was even thinner than Dyson's four-game outcome alone suggests. The comparison is therefore based on direct club service, starting responsibility, production, and the practical value of any retained draft capital, without overstating downstream moves that required additional consideration.
Final Verdict
Green Bay Packers receives a C+ and Las Vegas Raiders receives a D+. The verdict is Green Bay Packers Win. The grade spread reflects the modest scale of the original transaction while still recognizing which side produced the stronger realized football return.
