Denver Broncos and Chicago Bears
Denver sent Jay Cutler and a 2009 fifth-round pick to Chicago for Kyle Orton, two first-round selections and a third-round pick. Orton became Denver's starting quarterback, while the draft haul provided multiple opportunities to reshape the roster. Chicago received the established quarterback it wanted and added Johnny Knox, but Denver controlled the broader package of premium assets.
