Los Angeles Chargers Received

  • pick Fred Quillan (later changed to 1989 seventh round pick (#195-Terrance Jones))
  • pick 1990 seventh round pick (#193-Keith Collins) when Quillan did not report)

Trade Analysis

The Chargers moved an older receiver, but the final compensation did not match Chandler's short-term value for San Francisco. The 49ers received the better football return, making this a modest San Francisco win.
