Mike Washington NFL Trade History

Baltimore sent veteran tight end Tom Mitchell to San Francisco in July 1974 and received three selections in the 1975 draft: No. 53 Mike Washington, No. 105 Roosevelt Leaks and No. 157 Kim Jones. Washington became a long-time NFL defensive back, while Leaks rushed for more than 2,400 career yards. The three-pick return gave Baltimore substantial depth and long-term player value.

Baltimore sent defensive back Mike Washington to expansion Tampa Bay for a 1976 third-round choice and cash. The Colts used the selection on Ron Lee, but Washington became a foundational Buccaneer, playing 100 games with 97 starts and intercepting 28 passes. Baltimore received legitimate consideration, yet Tampa Bay obtained the far more valuable long-term contributor.

Atlanta acquired safety Sydney Brown plus picks No. 122 and No. 215 from Philadelphia, while the Eagles received Nos. 114 and 197. The earlier row duplicated Atlanta's return; the clean package is Brown, a fourth-round pick and a sixth-round pick for an earlier fourth and sixth. Atlanta gained a veteran while moving back eight spots in Round 4 and 18 spots in Round 6, supporting an Even Trade with C grades.

Atlanta moved down 12 spots in the fourth round of the 2026 draft, sending No. 122 to Las Vegas for No. 134 and No. 208. The Falcons used those selections on Oklahoma linebacker Kendal Daniels and Washington defensive tackle Anterio Thompson. Atlanta turned one fourth-round choice into two defensive prospects while remaining in the same round.
