Trade 1 of 2

Denver Broncos and Chicago Bears

Denver Broncos Win Tier: landmark Confidence: high

Denver sent Jay Cutler and a 2009 fifth-round pick to Chicago for Kyle Orton, two first-round selections and a third-round pick. Orton became Denver's starting quarterback, while the draft haul provided multiple opportunities to reshape the roster. Chicago received the established quarterback it wanted and added Johnny Knox, but Denver controlled the broader package of premium assets.

Assets Received

Denver Broncos
  • Player Kyle Orton
  • Pick 2009 1st round pick (18th overall, Robert Ayers)
  • Pick 2009 3rd round pick (84th overall subsequently traded, Mike Wallace)
  • Pick 2010 1st round pick (11th overall subsequently traded, Anthony Davis)
Chicago Bears
  • Player Jay Cutler
  • Pick 2009 5th round pick (140th overall, Johnny Knox)

Trade 2 of 2

Denver Broncos and Pittsburgh Steelers

Pittsburgh Steelers Win Tier: standard Confidence: high

Denver traded two third-round picks to Pittsburgh for No. 64 and No. 132, then selected tight end Richard Quinn and guard Seth Olsen. Quinn caught one pass in three Broncos seasons and Olsen never became a Denver starter. Pittsburgh used No. 84 on Mike Wallace, who produced two 1,000-yard seasons and a Pro Bowl nod for the Steelers, making the value gap enormous even before considering Kraig Urbik.

Assets Received

Denver Broncos
  • Pick 2009 2nd round pick (64th overall, Richard Quinn)
  • Pick 2009 4th round pick (132nd overall, Seth Olsen)
Pittsburgh Steelers
  • Pick 2009 3rd round pick (79th overall, Kraig Urbik)
  • Pick 2009 3rd round pick (84th overall, Mike Wallace)
