Chicago Bears and San Francisco 49ers
San Francisco's April 26, 1983 trade for guard Jeff Williams was unwound after Williams failed the 49ers' physical. Chicago had already received 1983 picks No. 235 and No. 313, used on Mark Zavagnin and Oliver Williams. On May 16 the clubs resolved the failed trade by returning Williams to Chicago and awarding San Francisco 1984 ninth- and twelfth-round choices, later Nos. 239 and 320. The 49ers used No. 320 to acquire punter Tom Orosz, who played 18 games for San Francisco across 1983-84.

Chicago Bears and San Francisco 49ers
San Francisco returned guard Jeff Williams to Chicago on May 16, 1983 after he failed the 49ers' physical and received Bears ninth- and twelfth-round selections in the 1984 draft as settlement. Those became No. 239 Lee Miller and No. 320. Miller never recorded an NFL regular-season appearance, but San Francisco traded No. 320 to Miami for punter Tom Orosz, who handled all 16 regular-season games for the 49ers in 1983 and two more in 1984.

Miami Dolphins and San Francisco 49ers
Miami traded punter Tom Orosz to San Francisco near the end of the 1983 preseason for a 1984 twelfth-round selection. The Dolphins used No. 320 on William Devane, who did not establish an NFL career. Orosz, meanwhile, handled punting duties for the 49ers during the 1983 season and remained with the club into 1984, giving San Francisco the only meaningful professional return.
