Trade Analysis

The Exchange

On 1960-09-01, Los Angeles Chargers received rights to Ben Agajanian, while New York Titans received Bob Reifsnyder. The deal is judged by the value each club actually realized after the exchange. Bob Reifsnyder started 11 games for New York in 1960, while Ben Agajanian kicked in all 14 Chargers games and made 13 field goals plus 46 extra points. That outcome gives enough evidence to compare the sides without inflating the importance of a relatively small transaction.

Los Angeles Chargers Return

For Los Angeles Chargers, the return was rights to Ben Agajanian. The relevant question is what that asset contributed to Los Angeles Chargers, not what it might have become elsewhere. The documented results support a B grade and identify this as roughly even direct value. That assessment stays tied to direct team benefit rather than reputation, draft slot, or hypothetical upside.

New York Titans Return

For New York Titans, the return was Bob Reifsnyder. The same standard applies: games played, starts, production, or the eventual use of an acquired pick when that outcome can be identified. The evidence supports a B grade and makes this roughly even direct value. That comparison is more useful than judging the transaction by the names or asset labels alone.

Value in Hindsight

Hindsight clarifies what each club truly received. A player who later succeeded elsewhere does not create value for a team that no longer controlled him, and a draft choice matters according to what the acquiring club actually obtained. Here, the post-trade results provide a clear enough record to keep the grades proportional to the deal's real impact.

Final Verdict

The final call is Even Trade. Los Angeles Chargers receives a B, while New York Titans receives a B. Those marks reflect the supported package and the direct football value each side captured. The verdict does not depend on hypothetical development; it follows the outcomes that can be tied to this exchange.
