Chicago Bears and Green Bay Packers
Chicago Bears received 1958 19th round pick (#219-Bill Roehnelt) from Green Bay Packers in the 1957-03-02 exchange. Lee Hermsen never produced a Packers regular-season career, while Bill Roehnelt became a Bears starter with 12 starts in 1958 and returned to Chicago in 1959. Measured by what Chicago Bears actually realized after the deal, the return supports a B+ grade and represents the stronger realized return. The overall judgment is Chicago Bears Win.

Chicago Bears and Washington Commanders
Chicago sent linebacker Bill Roehnelt to Washington on January 1, 1960 for a 1962 fifth-round choice that became No. 57, Mac Burton. Roehnelt immediately gave Washington 12 games and nine starts in 1960. Chicago used the acquired pick on Burton, but he never played an NFL regular-season game and instead continued his career in Canada. Washington therefore received the clear direct return and keeps the historical win.
