Trade 1 of 4
New England Patriots and Washington Commanders
Washington and New England exchanged third-round positions in March 2003, with Washington receiving picks 81 and 140 for pick 75 and a 2004 fourth-rounder. Washington used No. 81 on Derrick Dockery, who became a durable multi-year starting guard. New England later used pick 75 in its move for Eugene Wilson and traded the 2004 fourth for veteran nose tackle Ted Washington.
Assets Received
Washington Commanders
- Pick 2003 3rd round pick (81st overall, Derrick Dockery)
- Pick 2003 5th round pick (140th overall; later traded)
New England Patriots
- Pick 2003 3rd round pick (75th overall; later included in trade with Houston for picks 36 and 117)
- Pick 2004 4th round pick (104th overall; later traded to Chicago for Ted Washington)

Trade 2 of 4
Chicago Bears and New England Patriots
New England acquired veteran nose tackle Ted Washington from Chicago in August 2003 for a 2004 fourth-round selection. Washington gave the Patriots the interior size they wanted for a championship run and contributed during the season that ended with a Super Bowl XXXVIII victory. Chicago converted an aging defender into future draft capital, but New England received the more immediate high-leverage football contribution.
Assets Received
Chicago Bears
- Pick 2004 4th round pick (104th overall subsequently traded, Isaac Sopoaga)
New England Patriots
- Player Ted Washington

Trade 3 of 4
Chicago Bears and San Francisco 49ers
Chicago Bears received Leon Joe and Claude Harriott; Joe played 24 games in two Chicago stints with modest defensive/special-teams production, while Harriott was released before the 2004 regular season and never played an NFL regular-season game. The team earns a C-, compared with B+ for San Francisco 49ers, and the hindsight verdict is San Francisco 49ers Win. That judgment reflects the concrete team-specific production, role and tenure created by the assets in this deal.
Assets Received
San Francisco 49ers
- Pick 2004 4th round pick (104th overall, Isaac Sopoaga)
Chicago Bears
- Pick 2004 4th round pick (112th overall, Leon Joe)
- Pick 2004 5th round pick (147th overall, Claude Harriott)

Trade 4 of 4
New England Patriots and Philadelphia Eagles
Philadelphia sent defensive tackle Isaac Sopoaga and a 2014 sixth-round pick to New England for a 2014 fifth-rounder at the trade deadline. Sopoaga played only six regular-season games for the Patriots and was released the following March. The Eagles then used acquired pick No. 169 to trade for Darren Sproles, who became a Pro Bowl returner and major offensive weapon in Philadelphia. That downstream conversion creates a decisive Eagles win.
Assets Received
Philadelphia Eagles
- Pick 2014 5th round pick (169th overall subsequently traded, Ronald Powell)
New England Patriots
- Player Isaac Sopoaga
- Pick 2014 6th round pick (198th overall, Zach Moore)
