Chronological Timeline
Trade 1 of 2
Cleveland ultimately received the 2022 seventh-round selection at No. 223 and used it on Isaiah Thomas. Thomas appeared in 10 Browns games in 2022, recorded one sack, and made no starts. That gave Cleveland some reserve defensive-line value, but the contribution was limited and did not match the quarterback starts Detroit received from David Blough.
Trade 2 of 2
Denver traded wide receiver Trinity Benson and a 2023 sixth-round pick to Detroit for a 2022 fifth-rounder and a conditional 2022 seventh. The seventh did not convey, but the fifth-round asset still gave Denver meaningful draft value. Benson produced only 10 receptions for 103 yards across nine Lions games, so Detroit paid a future pick for limited on-field return and lost the exchange decisively.
