Trade 2 of 2

Cleveland Browns and Tampa Bay Buccaneers

Cleveland Browns Win Tier: major Confidence: high

Tampa Bay moved from No. 19 to No. 17 and spent a sixth-round pick to secure quarterback Josh Freeman. Freeman gave the Buccaneers one excellent 2010 season and several years as the starter, but the relationship unraveled by 2013. Cleveland received No. 19 and No. 191, then moved down again and selected seven-time Pro Bowl center Alex Mack at No. 21. Mack's sustained elite play makes the Browns the stronger long-term winner.

Assets Received

Tampa Bay Buccaneers
  • Pick 2009 1st round pick (17th overall, Josh Freeman)
Cleveland Browns
  • Pick 2009 1st round pick (19th overall; traded to Philadelphia for picks 21 and 195, used on Alex Mack and James Davis; Philadelphia later selected Jeremy Maclin at 19)
  • Pick 2009 6th round pick (191st overall, Coye Francies)
