Detroit Lions and Minnesota Vikings

Detroit Lions Win Tier: standard Confidence: high

Detroit turned a fifth- and seventh-round package into linebacker Tahir Whitehead and Travis Lewis, while Minnesota received Trevor Guyton plus a future fourth-rounder. Whitehead became the decisive piece, growing into a long-term Detroit starter and productive linebacker. Minnesota later used the future fourth as part of its 2013 move for Cordarrelle Patterson, which prevents this from being a lopsided loss, but Detroit realized the cleaner direct return.

Assets Received

Minnesota Vikings
  • Pick 2012 7th round pick (219th overall, Trevor Guyton)
