Chronological Timeline
2 Recorded Trades
Trade 1 of 2
Arizona Cardinals and New England Patriots
New England acquired veteran corner Duane Starks and pick 145 from Arizona for picks 95 and 168. Starks started six games but struggled, landed on injured reserve and was released after one season. Arizona did not turn its two selections into stars, yet Darryl Blackstock supplied several seasons of linebacker depth, giving the Cardinals the better direct return from a deal that disappointed both sides.

- Player Duane Starks

Detroit Lions and New England Patriots
Detroit Lions received 2005 5th round pick (145th overall, Dan Orlovsky) and 2005 6th round pick (206th overall, Jonathan Goddard) in the 2005-04-24 exchange with New England Patriots. Dan Orlovsky supplied years of quarterback depth and spot-start value for Detroit; Jonathan Goddard added little. The direct package, rather than later movement of any acquired asset, is the basis for the hindsight judgment. Against what Detroit Lions surrendered, the result supports Detroit Lions Win.
