Chronological Timeline
Trade 1 of 3
New England traded picks No. 160 and No. 238 to Tampa Bay for No. 153 and selected Matthew Slater. Slater became one of the greatest special-teams players of his era, spending 16 seasons with the Patriots, winning three Super Bowls and earning 10 Pro Bowl selections. Tampa Bay drafted Josh Johnson and Cory Boyd; Johnson became a long-lived NFL backup, but his Buccaneers impact was modest and Boyd never played for Tampa Bay.
Trade 2 of 3
Denver acquired defensive lineman Le Kevin Smith and New England's 2010 seventh-round pick for the Broncos' 2010 fifth-round choice. Smith appeared in 15 games with two starts for Denver in 2009, providing immediate rotational depth, while New England gained the more valuable draft selection. The fifth-rounder was later moved again. With modest player production on one side and modest draft leverage on the other, the trade finishes even.
Trade 3 of 3
Washington sent pick No. 208 to New England for selections No. 229 and No. 231 in the 2010 draft. The Commanders selected Erik Cook and Selvish Capers, while the Patriots used No. 208 on Thomas Welch. None of the three linemen became a durable starter for the club that drafted him, leaving the direct football returns similarly limited.
