Arizona Cardinals and New England Patriots

Arizona/St. Louis Cardinals Win Tier: standard Confidence: high

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.

Assets Received

New England Patriots
  • Player Duane Starks
  • Pick 2005 5th round pick (145th overall, later traded; Dan Orlovsky selected)
Arizona Cardinals
  • Pick 2005 3rd round pick (95th overall, Darryl Blackstock)

The available record does not show enough separation to call a clear long-term winner.
