Basically anything Chauncey Billups did between Boston and Detroit, but him being teammates with T-Mac in Toronto for a hot minute in their rookie years might be the weirdest one.

Billups staying in Minnesota through 04 is also a pretty big what if.

Hot take but I think Tennessee really pulled off that look. Jacksonville..........maybe not

A lot of good answers in here but one weird factor that doesn't really get talked about is that despite so many different NFC teams winning Super Bowls, on a year-to-year basis there was a weird lack of depth and only a couple (sometimes even just one) true Super Bowl contenders. The Giants (and Redskins to a lesser extent) were bizarrely inconsistent while the Bears and Cowboys had consistent but shorter windows with the Packers coming in at the end. The 49ers were always there but you only had one or two years where even half of those teams came together as a serious threat, and that meant NFC's most dominant team didn't face very many risks of an upset.

The Browns had two different GMs (George Kokinis in 2009 and Mike Lombardi in 2013) who lasted only one season before getting fired, plus Sashi Brown (2016-17) who also didn't get two full seasons.

Unrestricted free agency began in earnest around the end of the 1980s. But in terms of rapid player movement, that didn't really happen for about another decade. It probably started with Shaq in 1996 and then really picked up steam with Orlando's attempt to build a superteam in 2000.
