Chronological Timeline
2 Recorded Trades
Trade 1 of 2
Kansas City Chiefs and Minnesota Vikings
Minnesota paid a first-round pick, two third-rounders, and a sixth-rounder for Jared Allen plus a future sixth, then received six seasons of elite edge production. Allen recorded 85.5 sacks as a Viking, including 22 in 2011, and became the centerpiece of a contending defense. The acquisition cost was enormous, but Minnesota bought a star in his prime and got star-level performance for the full competitive window it was targeting.

Trade 2 of 2
Green Bay Packers and New Orleans Saints
New Orleans acquired pick No. 237 from Green Bay in 2008 and selected wide receiver Adrian Arrington, sending the Packers a 2009 sixth-round choice that became No. 187. Arrington appeared in only five regular-season games for the Saints and caught nine passes for 110 yards. Green Bay used the future pick on defensive back Brandon Underwood, who also had a limited NFL impact, but he gave the Packers more usable roster time than Arrington gave New Orleans.
Assets Received
New Orleans Saints
- Pick 2008 7th round pick (237th overall, Adrian Arrington)
Green Bay Packers
- Pick 2009 6th round pick (187th overall, Brandon Underwood)
