Baltimore Ravens and Houston Texans
Baltimore moved from No. 26 to No. 18 and selected Joe Flacco, while Houston received No. 26, No. 89 and No. 173 and drafted Duane Brown, Steve Slaton and Dominique Barber. Flacco became a long-term Ravens franchise quarterback and Super Bowl XLVII MVP. Brown became an elite Texans left tackle and Slaton delivered an outstanding rookie season. Both teams created franchise-changing value.

Baltimore Ravens and Jacksonville Jaguars
Jacksonville made one of the boldest moves of the 2008 draft, climbing from No. 26 to No. 8 for defensive end Derrick Harvey and surrendering picks 71, 89 and 125. Harvey never developed into the edge cornerstone the Jaguars expected. Baltimore recycled the haul into a series of moves that helped secure Joe Flacco and other contributors, making the Ravens the overwhelming winner.

- Pick 2008 1st round pick (8th overall, Derrick Harvey)
Baltimore Ravens
- Pick 2008 1st round pick (26th overall; subsequently traded in move for Joe Flacco)

Baltimore Ravens and Denver Broncos
Denver sent the 113th pick in the 2019 draft to Baltimore for Joe Flacco, hoping the veteran quarterback could stabilize the position. Flacco started only eight games for the Broncos, throwing for 1,822 yards with seven touchdowns and six interceptions before his season ended. Baltimore used the pick on Justice Hill, who became a long-running Ravens back and special-teams contributor. The durability and retained value make Baltimore the clear winner.

Denver Broncos
- Player Joe Flacco
Baltimore Ravens
- Pick 2019 4th round pick (113th overall, Justice Hill)

New York Jets and Philadelphia Eagles
New York reacquired Joe Flacco for a conditional 2022 sixth-rounder and got a small but useful quarterback return: two appearances, one start, 338 passing yards, three touchdowns, and no interceptions in 2021. Philadelphia did not use the eventual No. 206 selection on Matt Henningsen; it moved that pick to Denver for Kary Vincent Jr., who played two Eagles games with one start. New York produced the stronger direct football return.
Assets Received
Philadelphia Eagles
- Pick 2022 6th round pick (206th overall subsequently traded, Matt Henningsen)
New York Jets
- Player Joe Flacco

Cincinnati Bengals and Cleveland Browns
Cincinnati received nine games and six starts from Joe Flacco in 2025, with 1,664 passing yards, 13 touchdowns and four interceptions. The acquired No. 199 pick later became one piece of a trade that yielded rookies Connor Lew and Colbie Young. Cleveland used No. 149 on linebacker Justin Jefferson, who made the 53-man roster but was inactive in Week 1. The Bengals lead B- to C.
Assets Received
Cleveland Browns
- Pick 2026 5th round pick (149th overall, Justin Jefferson)
Cincinnati Bengals
- Player Joe Flacco
- Pick 2026 6th round pick (199th overall subsequently traded, Emmanuel Henderson)
