Cincinnati Bengals and New England Patriots

Cincinnati Bengals Win Tier: major Confidence: high

Cincinnati traded veteran receiver Chad Johnson to New England in 2011 for fifth- and sixth-round picks that became Marvin Jones and Cobi Hamilton. Johnson caught only 15 passes for 276 yards and one touchdown in his lone Patriots season before being released. Jones developed into a productive starting receiver for Cincinnati and later enjoyed a long NFL career. The Bengals turned an aging star into a younger impact player and won decisively.

Assets Received

Cincinnati Bengals
  • Pick 2012 5th round pick (166th overall, Marvin Jones)
  • Pick 2013 6th round pick (197th overall, Cobi Hamilton)
