Chronological Timeline
Trade 1 of 2
On 1981-08-25, Cleveland Browns received Bruce Huther, while Dallas Cowboys received 1982 sixth round pick (#143-Ken Hammond).

The evaluation follows the documented consideration and traceable football value, while leaving unresolved downstream pick identities out of the judgment.
Trade 2 of 2
Cleveland turned linebacker Bruce Huther into the 1983 seventh-round choice used on Rocky Belk. Huther appeared in only four games for Chicago in 1982, while Belk played 10 games for Cleveland in 1983 and caught five passes for 141 yards and two touchdowns. Neither return became a long-term piece, but the Browns extracted more measurable production from the exchange and deserve the modest hindsight edge.
