Cleveland Browns and Green Bay Packers
Cleveland Browns received Dan Orlich. Cleveland received Dan Orlich on a look-see basis, but the Browns did not develop a durable return from him in this transaction. Orlich was reacquired by Green Bay roughly a month later as part of the separate Bob Gain package, so later Packers activity must not be credited to Cleveland here.
