Trade 1 of 3

Green Bay Packers and Los Angeles Rams

Even Trade Tier: minor Confidence: medium

Green Bay sent center Ken Iman to Los Angeles in early February 1964 without receiving new consideration that day. Packers historical research says the transfer fulfilled the future value Los Angeles expected after allowing quarterback Zeke Bratkowski to reach Green Bay on waivers in October 1963, although Rams president Dan Reeves declined to confirm that linkage. Iman later started 140 consecutive regular-season games for the Rams.

Trade 2 of 3

Green Bay Packers and Minnesota Vikings

Even Trade Tier: minor Confidence: high

Green Bay reacquired the rights to quarterback Zeke Bratkowski from Minnesota in January 1971 and sent the Vikings a 1972 third-round pick, No. 59. Bratkowski returned for six games with the Packers in 1971, while Minnesota used the acquired choice on Bart Buetow. The pick carried more nominal value, but neither return became a major long-term prize, leaving the trade close to even.

Trade 3 of 3

Chicago Bears and Green Bay Packers

Even Trade Tier: standard Confidence: high

Chicago acquired veteran quarterback Zeke Bratkowski from Green Bay on September 1, 1972 for a 1974 sixth-round selection later used on Don Woods. Bratkowski did not provide meaningful regular-season value for the Bears. Woods likewise failed to become a Packers regular-season contributor, leaving both clubs with very little realized football production from the exchange.
