Detroit Lions and Minnesota Vikings
Minnesota acquired Mike Bundra and Larry Vargo from Detroit on September 5, 1964, for its 1965 seventh-round and 1966 sixth-round choices. Bundra lasted only four Vikings games, but Vargo played 27 games with 17 starts over two Minnesota seasons and supplied steady defensive-backfield value. The Vikings received the more tangible NFL return from the two-player package.

Cleveland Browns and Minnesota Vikings
Cleveland acquired defensive tackle Mike Bundra from Minnesota on October 5, 1964, sending the 1965 fourth-round choice that became No. 55 Jim Harris. Bundra appeared in nine games for the Browns during their 1964 championship season. Harris was drafted by Minnesota but signed with the AFL's New York Jets and never played a regular-season game for the Vikings. Cleveland received the only immediate team-specific field value and earns the edge.

Cleveland Browns and New York Giants
Cleveland traded defensive tackle Mike Bundra to the New York Giants on September 14, 1965 for a 1966 sixth-round pick. Cleveland's own draft history identifies the acquired choice as the selection used on James Battle, and Pro Sports Transactions lists it as No. 90. The record should replace the generic 'draft pick' label with that exact sixth-round selection and provenance.
