Chronological Timeline
3 Recorded Trades
Trade 1 of 3
Denver Broncos and Detroit Lions
Denver traded return specialist Glyn Milburn to Detroit for the 55th pick and a seventh-rounder. Milburn gave the Lions two strong seasons as a returner, including 1,627 kickoff-return yards in 1996. Denver then flipped No. 55 to Baltimore for three picks, one of which became Pro Bowl special-teamer Detron Smith. Both clubs gained useful value, but Denver's downstream return helped support two championship rosters.

- Pick 1996 2nd round pick (55th overall subsequently traded, DeRon Jenkins)

Chicago Bears and Green Bay Packers
Chicago acquired return specialist Glyn Milburn from Green Bay in August 1998 for a 1999 seventh-round pick. That future selection became No. 213, where the Packers drafted Donald Driver. Milburn gave the Bears short-term special-teams help, but Driver became Green Bay's longtime receiving leader and a Super Bowl champion, turning a routine late-round exchange into one of the Packers' best value trades.
