Trade 2 of 5

Kansas City Chiefs and Tampa Bay Buccaneers

Tampa Bay Buccaneers Win Tier: major Confidence: high

Tampa Bay acquired defensive tackle Ryan Sims from Kansas City in May 2007 for a conditional 2009 seventh-round pick. The condition was tied to Sims spending at least six games on the Buccaneers' active roster in 2008 and was satisfied. Kansas City later returned the right to that pick to Tampa Bay in the Michael Bennett trade, while Sims appeared in 46 games and made 19 starts for the Buccaneers from 2007 through 2010.

Trade 4 of 5

New England Patriots and Philadelphia Eagles

Even Trade Tier: standard Confidence: high
