Chronological Timeline
3 Recorded Trades
Trade 1 of 3
Arizona Cardinals and Houston Texans
Arizona's trade for DeAndre Hopkins became one of the most lopsided modern NFL deals. The Cardinals acquired an elite wide receiver and a fourth-round pick while sending David Johnson and draft compensation to Houston. Hopkins immediately gave Arizona a true No. 1 target. Houston's return never came close. The trade still stands out because Arizona landed the best player in the deal without paying anything close to a normal superstar price.
Assets Received
Arizona Cardinals
- Pick DeAndre Hopkins and 2020 4th round pick (131st overall, Rashard Lawrence)
Houston Texans
- Pick David Johnson, 2020 2nd round pick (40th overall, Ross Blacklock) and 2021 4th round pick (122nd overall subsequently traded, Tyler Shelvin)

Trade 2 of 3
Houston Texans and New England Patriots
Houston acquired Marcus Cannon plus 2021 picks No. 158 and No. 195 from New England for picks No. 122 and No. 188. Cannon is a separate direct player asset, and later pick movement must remain downstream provenance. The Texans gained a veteran tackle and draft capital, while New England retained meaningful selections, leaving the trade close to balanced in hindsight.
Assets Received
New England Patriots
- Pick 2021 4th round pick (#122; subsequently traded)
- Pick 2021 6th round pick (#188, Joshuah Bledsoe)
Houston Texans
- Player Marcus Cannon
- Pick 2021 5th round pick (#158; subsequently traded)
- Pick 2021 6th round pick (#195, Roy Lopez)

Trade 3 of 3
Cincinnati Bengals and New England Patriots
New England sent picks 46, 122 and 139 to Cincinnati to move up to No. 38 for Christian Barmore. Barmore has 15.5 sacks through five seasons, including an 8.5-sack breakout in 2023, and returned to start 16 games in 2025 after a serious medical issue limited 2024. Cincinnati's Jackson Carman, Tyler Shelvin and D'Ante Smith never produced comparable long-term value. The Patriots turned a three-for-one move into the only clear impact player.
Assets Received
Cincinnati Bengals
- Pick 2021 2nd round pick (46th overall, Jackson Carman), 2021 4th round pick (122nd overall, Tyler Shelvin) and 2021 4th round pick (139th overall, D'Ante Smith)
New England Patriots
- Pick 2021 2nd round pick (38th overall, Christian Barmore)
