Best trade in Chiefs history
ESPN has a column today listing their best NFL trades by team. Do you agree with the Chiefs selection?
Kansas City Chiefs Chiefs trade for offensive tackle Willie Roaf. The 2002 trade with the Saints, for a third-round pick, was the move that allowed the Chiefs to build a premier offensive line and the high-scoring offense they had when they were coached by Dick Vermeil. Roaf played for the Chiefs for the final four seasons of his Hall of Fame career, and he was consistently great. It's no coincidence the Chiefs declined sharply on offense the year after his retirement. -- Adam Teicher http://www.espn.com/nfl/story/_/page...team-ever-made Here's my pick:

Charles and Albert for Allen after Allen made it clear he wasn't going to be re-signing here has to be up there as well.
You obviously hate losing a HoFer but you got another guy who gave you several HoF caliber years and a credible LT at well under market price. In a cap environment, the cost savings was key as was the ability to get genuinely good players back in the deal.

Ah, forgot that one. Good selection.
I'd also go with trading up in the 1997 draft to get Tony G as being better than the Roaf deal. We went from 18 to 13, and gave up an extra 3rd. Those players became Kenny Holmes and Vrabel. Not a bad deal given the star player we got. |

The Jared Allen one is the first one that comes to mind.

That. As much as you don't want to say it, helping a rival kept the credibility of the AFL up with the NFL as well.

In my lifetime,
18th overall pick for: Montana, a safety, and a 3rd round pick. It's the last time we've been to AFC championship game and we almost won it all.

Not the greatest trade but it's up there.
2011 trade down for a 3rd rd pick. Gave us some guy named Justin Houston.
