Nick Foles and Sam Bradford just got swapped. (along with draft picks) QB for QB trades are rare and I was racking my brain trying to remember ones that have happened in the past. In somewhat recent memory we have "soon after drafted" trades of Elway for Herrman (and others) and Manning for Rivers (and a bunch of draft picks). I think there was a sort of blockbuster one in the 50s or 60s but I'm drawing a blank. Any others?

1962 - Milt Plum to the Lions - Jim Ninowski to the Browns

This was the one that was at the tip of my tongue.
I should have thought of those Pastorini/Stabler and Orton/Cutler ones too!

While not a trade per se, in 2014 Mark Sanchez and Michael Vick swapped teams as free agents (the Eagles and Jets).

Although not football related, the most bizarre trade involving sports figures was in 1973, when New York Yankees pitchers Mike Kekich and Fritz Peterson swapped wives and children (even dogs!). The most interesting thing is that Peterson is still married, while Kekich's only lasted for a few years.
