Trade 1 of 1
Houston Texans and New England Patriots
Houston sent wide receiver Keshawn Martin and its 2016 sixth-round pick No. 196 to New England for the Patriots' 2016 fifth-round pick No. 166. The Texans used No. 166 on D.J. Reader, who developed into the best long-term NFL player tied directly to the exchange. Martin offered New England short-term depth, but Reader's sustained interior-line value gives Houston the clear hindsight edge.
