AZ54 Posted December 31, 2015 Report Share Posted December 31, 2015 Cleveland traded a Hall of Fame player for just a 3rd and 6th Rd pick? Atkins went on to the Pro Bowl 8 of 9 seasons in Chicago. Talk about a steal, Halas had to love that deal. Cleveland's misery goes back a lot further than I realized. "The Browns traded Atkins and Ken Gorgal to the Chicago Bears for a third-round and a sixth-round pick in the 1956 NFL draft.[4][5] In Chicago, Atkins quickly became the leader of a devastating defensive unit. With the Bears, Atkins was a First Team All-Pro selection in 1958, 1960, 1961, and 1963; along with being a starter in the Pro Bowl in eight of his last nine years with Chicago.
