Chronological Timeline
2 Recorded Trades
Trade 1 of 2
Minnesota Vikings and New England Patriots
Minnesota reunited Randy Moss with Brett Favre in a win-now move, sending New England a 2011 third-round pick while receiving Moss and a 2012 seventh-rounder. The reunion lasted only four games: Moss caught 13 passes for 174 yards and two touchdowns before the Vikings waived him. New England used pick No. 74 on Ryan Mallett and avoided losing Moss for nothing after the season. The Patriots clearly won despite modest production from Mallett.

- Pick 2012 7th round pick (223rd overall; later traded to Detroit as part of a package)

Houston Texans and New England Patriots
Houston acquired quarterback Ryan Mallett from New England on August 31, 2014 for a conditional late-round selection that ultimately became the 2016 seventh-round No. 243 pick. Mallett made several starts for the Texans before his 2015 release. The tenure was brief and uneven, but Houston received actual quarterback use for a very small price, giving the Texans a modest edge.
