Chronological Timeline
3 Recorded Trades
Trade 1 of 3
Detroit Lions and Philadelphia Eagles
Philadelphia traded a future sixth-round pick to Detroit for the 220th choice in 2010 and selected linebacker Jamar Chaney. Chaney became an immediate contributor, starting 23 games for the Eagles across three seasons and recording 92 tackles with three interceptions in 2011. Detroit later used the future pick in another transaction, but Philadelphia received the stronger direct football value from the original exchange.
Assets Received
Philadelphia Eagles
- Pick 2010 7th round pick (220th overall, Jamar Chaney)
Detroit Lions
- Pick 2011 6th round pick (186th overall subsequently traded, D.J. Smith)

Denver Broncos and Detroit Lions
Denver Broncos received Dan Gronkowski and 2011 6th round pick (186th overall subsequently traded, D.J. Smith). Denver received Dan Gronkowski and a 2011 sixth-round choice. The package supplied only modest direct value, and neither piece matched the defensive production Detroit received from Alphonso Smith. Compared with Detroit Lions' return, the result supports a C- grade and fits the Detroit Lions Win verdict.
Assets Received
Denver Broncos
- Player Dan Gronkowski
- Pick 2011 6th round pick (186th overall subsequently traded, D.J. Smith)
Detroit Lions
- Player Alphonso Smith
- Pick 2011 7th round pick (forfeited due to tampering)

Trade 3 of 3
Denver Broncos and Green Bay Packers
Denver traded picks No. 141 and No. 186 to Green Bay for selections No. 129 and No. 204, then drafted tight ends Julius Thomas and Virgil Green. Thomas became a two-time Pro Bowler and major red-zone target during Peyton Manning's record-setting Denver years, while Green supplied years of blocking and depth. Green Bay's D.J. Williams and D.J. Smith provided much less lasting value.
Assets Received
Denver Broncos
- Pick 2011 4th round pick (129th overall, Julius Thomas)
- Pick 2011 7th round pick (204th overall, Virgil Green)
Green Bay Packers
- Pick 2011 5th round pick (141st overall, D.J. Williams)
- Pick 2011 6th round pick (186th overall, D.J. Smith)
