Denver Broncos and Minnesota Vikings
Minnesota acquired quarterback Trevor Siemian and the 225th pick in the 2018 draft from Denver for a 2019 fifth-round selection. Siemian served as Kirk Cousins' backup for one season and did not make a regular-season start for the Vikings. Denver eventually used the fifth-round return on linebacker Justin Hollins, who appeared in 15 games as a rookie. The Broncos gained the slightly cleaner direct return.
Assets Received
Minnesota Vikings
- Player Trevor Siemian
- Pick 2018 7th round pick (225th overall, Devante Downs)
Denver Broncos
- Pick 2019 5th round pick (156th overall, Justin Hollins)

Minnesota Vikings and New York Jets
Minnesota moved up for kicker Daniel Carlson and also acquired Devante Downs, but Carlson was waived after two games and his later All-Pro success came entirely with Las Vegas. New York used Minnesota’s selections on Folorunso Fatukasi and Trenton Cannon. Fatukasi became a useful Jets starter, giving New York far more team-specific value from the exchange.
Assets Received
Minnesota Vikings
- Pick 2018 5th round pick (167th overall, Daniel Carlson)
- Pick 2018 7th round pick (225th overall, Devante Downs)
New York Jets
- Pick 2018 6th round pick (180th overall, Folorunso Fatukasi)
