Trade 1 of 2
Green Bay Packers and New York Jets
Green Bay sent Brett Favre to the Jets for conditional 2009 draft compensation that became a third-round pick, No. 83, after Favre met the playing-time trigger. The Packers later used that extra third-round asset in the trade-up package for Clay Matthews. New York received one season of Favre, but Green Bay converted the deal into a far more durable roster-building benefit.

Green Bay Packers and New England Patriots
Green Bay traded picks No. 41, 73 and 83 to New England for No. 26 and No. 162, then selected Clay Matthews and Jamon Meredith. Matthews became a six-time Pro Bowler, first-team All-Pro and one of the defining defenders of the Packers' Super Bowl XLV era. New England received Darius Butler, Brandon Tate and valuable maneuvering room from No. 73, but nothing in the return matched Matthews.
