Trade 1 of 3
Cleveland Browns and New England Patriots
New England traded Jamie Collins during a championship season rather than carry an approaching free-agent negotiation into the offseason. The Patriots received a 2017 third-round selection and proved they could absorb the football loss, winning Super Bowl LI without him. Collins was a talented and versatile defender, so the move looked risky in real time. In hindsight, New England converted an expiring asset into draft value without damaging its title run.
Assets Received
Cleveland Browns
- Player Jamie Collins
New England Patriots
- Pick 2017 3rd round pick (96th overall subsequently traded, Kenny Golladay)

Carolina Panthers and Arizona Cardinals
Carolina paid picks No. 98 and No. 115 to Arizona to move up to No. 77 for defensive end Daeshon Hall. Hall appeared in only one regular-season game for the Panthers before injuries derailed his rookie year and his Carolina tenure ended. Arizona turned the two incoming choices into wide receiver Chad Williams and guard Dorian Johnson, giving the Cardinals more realized roster value from the exchange.
Assets Received
Carolina Panthers
- Pick 2017 third-round pick (No. 77, Daeshon Hall)
Arizona Cardinals
- Pick 2017 third-round pick (No. 98, Chad Williams)
- Pick 2017 fourth-round pick (No. 115, Dorian Johnson)

Trade 3 of 3
Detroit Lions and New England Patriots
New England moved up to No. 85 in the 2017 draft for tackle Antonio Garcia, sending Detroit picks No. 96 and No. 124. Garcia never appeared in a regular-season game for the Patriots. Detroit used the selections on Kenny Golladay and Jalen Reeves-Maybin. Golladay became a Pro Bowl receiver and league touchdown leader, while Reeves-Maybin developed into a long-tenured linebacker and elite special-teams contributor.
Assets Received
New England Patriots
- Pick 2017 3rd round pick (85th overall, Antonio Garcia)
Detroit Lions
- Pick 2017 3rd round pick (96th overall, Kenny Golladay)
- Pick 2017 4th round pick (124th overall, Jalen Reeves-Maybin)
