Carolina Panthers and Chicago Bears

Carolina Panthers Win Tier: standard Confidence: high

Carolina acquired Greg Olsen from Chicago for a 2012 third-round pick and received nine seasons from one of the best players in franchise history. Olsen caught 524 passes for 6,463 yards and 39 touchdowns as a Panther, made three Pro Bowls and became the first tight end with three consecutive 1,000-yard seasons. Chicago later traded the acquired pick, never recovering comparable value.

Chicago Bears and Miami Dolphins

Chicago Bears Win Tier: major Confidence: high

Chicago acquired Brandon Marshall from Miami for third-round picks in 2012 and 2013, reuniting the receiver with Jay Cutler. Marshall immediately became the Bears' primary passing-game weapon and produced three productive seasons, including a 1,508-yard debut campaign in Chicago. Miami converted the picks into additional draft capital but never received a player of comparable impact. The modest acquisition cost and Marshall's elite production give Chicago a decisive win.

Assets Received

Miami Dolphins
  • Pick 2012 3rd round pick (73rd overall subsequently traded, Brandon Taylor)
  • Pick 2013 3rd round pick (82nd overall subsequently traded, John Jenkins)
Chicago Bears
  • Player Brandon Marshall

Los Angeles Chargers and Miami Dolphins

Even Trade Tier: standard Confidence: high

Miami traded pick No. 73 to San Diego for Nos. 78 and 183. The Dolphins selected tight end Michael Egnew and receiver B.J. Cunningham; Egnew caught only seven NFL passes and Cunningham never became a Miami regular-season contributor. The Chargers used No. 73 on safety Brandon Taylor, whose career was derailed by knee injuries after only four defensive appearances. With all three selections producing very little, the trade finishes essentially even.

Assets Received

Miami Dolphins
  • Pick 2012 3rd round pick (78th overall, Michael Egnew)
  • Pick 2012 6th round pick (183rd overall, B.J. Cunningham)
Los Angeles Chargers
  • Pick 2012 3rd round pick (73rd overall, Brandon Taylor)
