Chronological Timeline
Trade 1 of 2
Cleveland Browns received 1961 eighth round pick (#110-Fred Cox) from Green Bay Packers for Bob Jarus. The recorded outcome does not show enough separation to identify a clear winner.
Trade 2 of 2
Minnesota sent Cleveland a 1963 sixth-round pick and received Tom Franckhauser, Errol Linden, Charley Ferguson, and Fred Cox. The pick became Ernie Borghetti, while Cox developed into the defining return: he spent 15 seasons with the Vikings, became the franchise's longtime scoring leader, and helped multiple championship teams. The Browns received a late-round selection; Minnesota acquired several players and a lasting special-teams fixture.
