Indianapolis Colts received
Tyrone Poole
Carolina traded cornerback Tyrone Poole to Indianapolis for a 1999 second-round selection that became tackle Chris Terry at No. 34. Poole started 41 games over three Colts seasons and intercepted five passes. Terry became an immediate Panthers starter and eventually started 88 NFL games, giving both clubs substantial multi-year value from opposite sides of the player-for-pick exchange.
Carolina sent running back Fred Lane to Indianapolis for linebacker Spencer Reid on April 21, 2000. Reid was a reserve-level player, but he at least appeared in NFL games after the exchange. Lane tragically died on July 6, before he could play a regular-season game for the Colts. Judged strictly by realized football return, Carolina received the only on-field value, though the circumstances make this unlike an ordinary trade outcome.
Carolina moved from No. 52 to No. 46 for Jonathon Brooks, sending Indianapolis two additional fifth-round picks at Nos. 142 and 155. Brooks entered the league recovering from an ACL tear and then tore the same ACL again in his third NFL game, sharply limiting the early return. The Colts collected three selections for six spots of movement, giving Indianapolis the stronger realized value so far.
