Detroit acquired Bob Rennebohm; Howard Brown / Howie Brown from Green Bay Packers for Frank Szymanski; Ted Cook. The available record does not show enough durable separation between Detroit's realized return and the other team's return to justify a directional win.

Pittsburgh sent the rights to reigning NFL MVP Bill Dudley to Detroit and received a package that included the 1948 third overall pick (used on Bobby Layne). Dudley had won the 1946 rushing title and MVP; Layne would become a Hall of Fame quarterback. On the surface, trading the defending MVP for a package including the Layne pick seems reasonable, but the execution muddies the picture. Pittsburgh never maximized Layne, eventually letting him go (see 1947-0024) before he became an elite QB. Dudley continued producing elsewhere. Slight Pittsburgh lean given the draft capital acquired, but the downstream mismanagement of the Layne asset diminishes this win substantially

Philadelphia acquired Jim Kekeris; rights to Charley Hoover / Charlie Hoover from Detroit Lions for Roy Zimmerman.

Detroit acquired Mervin Pregulman / Merv Pregulman from Green Bay Packers for Damon Tassos; 1948 fifth round pick (#27-Don Richards (a)). The available record does not show enough durable separation between Detroit's realized return and the other team's return to justify a directional win.
