Cleveland received one regular-season appearance from Therrian Fontenot after the late-preseason swap. The contribution was minimal, but it still exceeded the game-day value Green Bay received from Carlton Brewster. The grade remains tied to documented value for the acquiring club, without assigning credit for unresolved or hypothetical downstream consideration.

Trade Analysis
The Exchange
Cleveland and Green Bay made a straight player swap on August 22, 2006. The Browns acquired defensive back Therrian Fontenot, while the Packers acquired wide receiver Carlton Brewster. The timing placed both players in direct competition for final roster spots, so the most important hindsight question is whether either new team received regular-season value.
Cleveland Browns Return
Cleveland received one regular-season appearance from Therrian Fontenot after the late-preseason swap. The contribution was minimal, but it still exceeded the game-day value Green Bay received from Carlton Brewster. The grade remains tied to documented value for the acquiring club, without assigning credit for unresolved or hypothetical downstream consideration.
Green Bay Packers Return
Green Bay took a preseason look at Carlton Brewster but released him before the regular season, so the trade produced no game-day contribution for the Packers. The grade remains tied to documented value for the acquiring club, without assigning credit for unresolved or hypothetical downstream consideration.
Value in Hindsight
The separation is real but tiny. Cleveland received one game from Fontenot; Green Bay received no regular-season appearance from Brewster. Neither player became a lasting starter, contributor or future trade asset for the acquiring club. That limits how far the grades should move even though Cleveland technically got more.
Final Verdict
Cleveland wins by the smallest margin. The Browns earn a C for extracting one regular-season appearance from Fontenot. Green Bay earns a C- because Brewster was released before the season. This is a narrow depth-chart win, not a significant personnel success.
