New England Patriots and Tampa Bay Buccaneers
New England acquired Aqib Talib and 2013 pick No. 226 from Tampa Bay for 2013 pick No. 126. Talib immediately upgraded the Patriots' secondary, returned in 2013, made the Pro Bowl and helped New England reach consecutive AFC title games. Tampa Bay used No. 126 on William Gholston, who became a remarkably durable Buccaneers defensive lineman and later a Super Bowl champion. Elite short-term impact versus exceptional longevity makes this even.

Denver Broncos and Los Angeles Rams
Denver traded cornerback Aqib Talib to the Rams for the No. 160 pick in the 2018 draft. Los Angeles paid a fifth-round pick for Aqib Talib, reuniting the veteran corner with Wade Phillips and adding him to a defense built for an immediate championship run. Talib started for the Rams when healthy and helped the club reach Super Bowl LIII. Denver created cap room and later recycled the pick, but the direct football impact favored Los Angeles.
Assets Received
Denver Broncos
- Pick 2018 5th round pick (160th overall subsequently traded, Ogbonnia Okoronkwo)

Los Angeles Rams and Miami Dolphins
Los Angeles sent injured cornerback Aqib Talib and a 2020 fifth-round pick to Miami for a 2022 seventh-rounder. The football purpose was largely financial: Talib was on injured reserve and the Rams wanted salary relief while reshaping the roster around Jalen Ramsey. Miami had abundant cap room and effectively accepted Talib’s contract to move from a distant seventh-round asset into a much more valuable fifth-round selection.
Assets Received
Los Angeles Rams
- Pick 2022 7th round pick (238th overall subsequently traded, Thayer Munford)
Miami Dolphins
- Pick Aqib Talib and 2020 5th round pick (173rd overall subsequently traded, Darnell Mooney)
