Atlanta Falcons and Indianapolis Colts
Indianapolis acquired veteran receiver Charlie Brown from Atlanta on April 27, 1988 for a conditional 1989 twelfth-round pick. Brown had been a productive receiver earlier in the decade, but the Colts released him on July 26 before the regular season. The conditional selection was not exercised, so neither club received a lasting roster or draft return.
