Trade 1 of 3
Kansas City Chiefs and Pittsburgh Steelers
Pittsburgh moved from No. 27 to No. 16 in the 2003 draft to select Troy Polamalu, surrendering its first-, third- and sixth-round picks to Kansas City. Polamalu became a Hall of Fame safety, Defensive Player of the Year and central figure on two Super Bowl champions. Trading multiple selections for one player carries obvious risk, but Pittsburgh identified a generational fit and received far more value than the price suggests.
Assets Received
Pittsburgh Steelers
- Pick 2003 1st round pick (16th overall, Troy Polamalu)
Kansas City Chiefs
- Pick 2003 1st round pick (27th overall, Larry Johnson), 2003 3rd round pick (92nd overall, Julian Battle) and 2003 6th round pick (200th overall subsequently traded, Brooks Bollinger)

Minnesota Vikings and New York Jets
Minnesota acquired quarterback Brooks Bollinger from the Jets for defensive tackle C.J. Mosley and a 2008 seventh-round pick. Bollinger provided emergency quarterback depth but made only a limited impact during two Vikings seasons. New York received a young defensive lineman who contributed in its rotation plus an extra draft asset, giving the Jets a modest but clear advantage.
Assets Received
Minnesota Vikings
- Player Brooks Bollinger
New York Jets
- Player C.J. Mosley
- Pick 2008 7th round pick (226th overall, later traded; Chaz Schilens selected)
