Cleveland Browns and Detroit Lions
Cleveland Browns received 2025 6th round pick (204th overall subsequently traded, Ajani Cornelius) from Detroit Lions, giving up Donovan Peoples-Jones. The later draft trail identifies Cleveland's selection as No. 204 after another move. The return supports a B grade because the value directly tied to this deal fits that mark. The final verdict is Cleveland Browns Win.

Buffalo Bills and Cleveland Browns
Buffalo acquired Amari Cooper and a 2025 sixth-round pick from Cleveland for a 2025 third and 2026 seventh. Cooper gave the Bills 20 catches, 297 yards and two touchdowns in nine regular-season games plus modest playoff production before leaving after the season. Cleveland used the third-rounder on quarterback Dillon Gabriel, who appeared in 10 games as a rookie. The lasting rookie-contract value now tilts this trade toward the Browns.
Assets Received
Buffalo Bills
- Pick Amari Cooper and 2025 6th round pick (204th overall subsequently traded, Ajani Cornelius)
Cleveland Browns
- Pick 2025 3rd round pick (94th overall, Dillon Gabriel)
- Pick 2026 7th round pick (242nd overall subsequently traded, Deven Eastern)

Trade 3 of 3
Buffalo Bills and Dallas Cowboys
Buffalo turned its return into rookie defensive back Jordan Hancock and a 2026 seventh-rounder that later helped produce another trade asset. Hancock has played 14 regular-season games through Week 1 of 2026 without a start. Dallas received seven 2025 starts from Kaiir Elam before waiving him and only one appearance from Ajani Cornelius. The Cowboys retain a narrow hindsight edge, C+ to C.
Assets Received
Buffalo Bills
- Pick 2025 5th round pick (170th overall, Jordan Hancock)
- Pick 2026 7th round pick (228th overall subsequently traded, VJ Payne)
Dallas Cowboys
- Player Kaiir Elam
- Pick 2025 6th round pick (204th overall, Ajani Cornelius)
