Minnesota Vikings and Cleveland Browns
Minnesota Vikings Win Tier: standard
Confidence: high
Minnesota and Cleveland exchanged offensive linemen just before the 2005 season, with the Vikings receiving center Melvin Fowler and the Browns taking tackle Nat Dorsey. Fowler started nine of his 10 games for Minnesota and filled an immediate need. Dorsey remained with Cleveland for three seasons but started only twice there. The difference is modest, yet Minnesota received the more useful on-field contribution from the swap.
