NFL Trade Verdict
San Francisco 49ers Win
San Francisco acquired Wes Chandler from the Chargers for compensation tied to Fred Quillan and later late-round picks. Chandler gave the 49ers useful veteran receiving value, while the Chargers' return was limited. San Francisco wins.
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)
San Francisco 49ers Received
- player Wes Chandler
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.
