Cleveland Browns and Houston Texans
Cleveland's trade for Deshaun Watson became one of the most damaging modern blockbuster deals. The Browns surrendered a massive pick package and handed Watson a fully guaranteed contract, while Houston escaped the situation and rebuilt with premium assets. The Texans won decisively because Cleveland absorbed nearly all of the risk. It is one of the clearest modern examples of a team paying franchise-quarterback prices without receiving franchise-quarterback stability.

Houston Texans and Minnesota Vikings
Minnesota acquired Houston's 2024 first-round pick at No. 23 plus No. 232, while Houston received Nos. 42 and 188 in 2024 plus Minnesota's 2025 second-rounder. The Texans turned No. 42 into starting corner Kamari Lassiter, while Minnesota later used No. 23 as the centerpiece of its move up for Dallas Turner and drafted Levi Drake Rodriguez at No. 232. Houston holds the early edge.

Trade 3 of 3
Jacksonville Jaguars and Minnesota Vikings
Minnesota moved from No. 23 to No. 17 in 2024 for edge rusher Dallas Turner, sending Jacksonville four selections. Turner developed from a rookie reserve into a 10-game starter with eight sacks and four forced fumbles in 2025. Jacksonville still owns the stronger return because No. 23 became Brian Thomas Jr., who posted a 1,282-yard Pro Bowl rookie season, while the additional Jaguars assets provided extra value around him.
Assets Received
Minnesota Vikings
- Pick 2024 1st round pick (17th overall, Dallas Turner)
Jacksonville Jaguars
- Pick 2024 1st round pick (23rd overall, Brian Thomas), 2024 5th round pick (167th overall, Keilan Robinson), 2025 3rd round pick (88th overall, Caleb Ransaw) and 2025 4th round pick (126th overall subsequently traded, Dylan Sampson)
