Chronological Timeline
3 Recorded Trades
Trade 1 of 3
Indianapolis Colts and Washington Commanders
Indianapolis moved up four spots for offensive lineman Ben Ijalana, sending Washington picks No. 53 and No. 152. Injuries prevented Ijalana from becoming a meaningful Colts contributor. Washington repeatedly recycled both acquired choices, turning them into portions of a broader 2011 draft-day chain that produced Leonard Hankerson, DeJon Gomes, Maurice Hurt, Roy Helu and Aldrick Robinson. The volume of usable downstream value clearly exceeded Indianapolis' return.
Assets Received
Indianapolis Colts
- Pick 2011 2nd round pick (49th overall, Ben Ijalana)
Washington Commanders
- Pick 2011 2nd round pick (53rd overall subsequently traded to Chicago)
- Pick 2011 5th round pick (152nd overall subsequently traded to Houston)

Atlanta Falcons and Houston Texans
Atlanta acquired quarterback T.J. Yates from Houston on June 19, 2014 in a straight player-for-player swap for linebacker Akeem Dent. Yates gave the Falcons experienced backup depth behind Matt Ryan but did not become a major contributor in Atlanta. Houston received more sustained defensive use from Dent, so the Falcons come out behind in a sensible low-cost exchange rather than a damaging trade.
