Arizona Cardinals and Green Bay Packers
Green Bay acquired veteran quarterback Lamar McHan from the Chicago Cardinals on May 22, 1959, in a conditional deal that cost the Packers a 1960 third-round pick only if McHan made the roster. He did, and the pick became No. 29 Charley Elley. McHan played 24 games for Green Bay across Vince Lombardi’s first two seasons, throwing for 1,322 yards and 11 touchdowns. Elley produced no comparable NFL regular-season value.

Green Bay Packers and Indianapolis Colts
Green Bay traded quarterback Lamar McHan to Baltimore in March 1961 for the Colts' 1962 fifth-round selection, No. 65 overall. The Packers used that pick on Chuck Morris, who never appeared in a regular-season NFL game for Green Bay. McHan served behind Johnny Unitas for parts of three seasons, giving Baltimore modest but real quarterback depth.
