Denver Broncos and Tampa Bay Buccaneers
Denver traded Jake Plummer's rights to Tampa Bay on March 3, 2007 for a conditional 2008 draft choice. Plummer never reported to Tampa Bay, so the condition settled as the Buccaneers' 2008 seventh-round pick, No. 227. Denver used that selection on Peyton Hillis, who became a useful rookie contributor. Tampa Bay never received an on-field contribution from Plummer.

Denver Broncos and Cleveland Browns
Denver acquired quarterback Brady Quinn from Cleveland for Peyton Hillis plus two future picks, a 2011 sixth-rounder and a conditional 2012 choice that became a fifth-rounder. Quinn never became Denver's answer at quarterback. Hillis, meanwhile, erupted for a 1,000-yard rushing season in Cleveland and became the most productive immediate asset in the deal. The added draft capital pushes this heavily toward the Browns.

Cleveland Browns
