Chronological Timeline
3 Recorded Trades
Trade 1 of 3
Buffalo Bills and Dallas Cowboys
Buffalo traded three selections, including its 2005 first-rounder, to Dallas for the No. 22 pick in 2004 and drafted quarterback J.P. Losman. Losman started 33 games over five Bills seasons but never stabilized the position. The price became Julius Jones, Sean Ryan and Marcus Spears, giving Dallas a starting running back, a useful tight end and a long-term defensive starter.
Assets Received
Buffalo Bills
- Pick 2004 1st round pick (22nd overall, J.P. Losman)
Dallas Cowboys
- Pick 2004 2nd round pick (43rd overall, Julius Jones), 2004 5th round pick (144th overall, Sean Ryan) and 2005 1st round pick (20th overall, Marcus Spears)

Detroit Lions and New York Jets
The Jets traded Jon McGraw to Detroit on August 10, 2005 for the conditional return that became Detroit’s 2007 seventh-round pick, No. 212. McGraw gave the Lions 24 games, five starts and 65 combined tackles across 2005-06. New York later sent No. 212 to Dallas for tight end Sean Ryan, who played 26 games with four starts for the Jets. Both sides converted modest assets into useful depth.

Trade 3 of 3
Dallas Cowboys and New York Jets
Dallas Cowboys received 2007 7th round pick (212th overall, Courtney Brown) from New York Jets. Dallas received the seventh-round choice later used on Courtney Brown. Brown supplied limited defensive-back depth, giving the Cowboys a modest return from the late selection. That outcome supports a C grade for Dallas Cowboys. The final verdict is Even Trade, based on the football value the club actually realized from the assets it controlled after the exchange.
