Green Bay Packers–New England Patriots Trade History

Green Bay acquired John Bramlett from New England in exchange for Rich Moore, also identified as Richie Moore in club records. Bramlett's stay with the Packers was brief and did not create a lasting advantage. Moore never became a Patriots regular-season contributor and was released the following year, so Green Bay's return was not meaningfully better than New England's.

Green Bay Packers received Bill DuLac. Bill DuLac was released before playing a Packers regular-season game, so Green Bay received no direct game value from its acquired player. That outcome supports a D grade because the return is measured by the direct football value Green Bay Packers actually received after the deal, compared with the asset sent the other way.

Green Bay Packers received John Mosier. John Mosier was released by Green Bay without appearing in a Packers regular-season game, leaving the club without direct on-field value from the exchange. That outcome supports a D grade because the return is measured by the direct football value Green Bay Packers actually received after the deal, compared with the asset sent the other way.

Green Bay acquired defensive back Dave Mason, who appeared in twelve games for the Packers in 1974. The conditional 1975 tenth-round payment was later voided because the trade conditions were not fulfilled, meaning Green Bay obtained Mason without ultimately conveying that selection. The B grade reflects useful short-term value at effectively no completed draft cost.

Green Bay acquired veteran running back John Stephens from New England for the 1993 fourth-round pick, No. 99. Stephens played only five games for the Packers, rushing for 173 yards before Green Bay moved on. New England later traded the No. 99 selection to San Diego for additional draft capital. The Packers received little from a former 1,000-yard runner, while the Patriots preserved and expanded the pick's value.

New England acquired safety Adrian White from Green Bay in April 1993 for a conditional 1994 seventh-round pick. White played five games with four starts for the Patriots, providing short-term defensive help. The exact conditional pick cannot be tied safely to Butler By'not'e because Denver records trace No. 212 to a different Packers trade. With modest value on both sides, an even C/C is most defensible.

Green Bay Packers received Mike Arthur from New England Patriots, giving up Bill Schroeder and Jeff Wilner. Schroeder and Wilner were separate incoming players and are treated as distinct assets. The return supports a C grade because the value directly tied to this deal fits that mark. The final verdict is Even Trade.

Green Bay acquired wide receiver Terry Glenn from New England in March 2002 for a 2002 fourth-round pick plus a conditional 2003 selection that ultimately conveyed as another fourth-rounder. Glenn gave the Packers one productive season with 56 catches for 817 yards and two touchdowns. New England turned the first pick into Jarvis Green and later used the conditional pick in the trade-up that produced Asante Samuel, creating greater long-term value.

Green Bay sent pick 175 to New England for picks 195 and 246, selecting Craig Bragg and Will Whitticker. Whitticker started as a rookie but did not develop into a lasting starter, while Bragg made little impact. New England immediately flipped pick 175 to Oakland for pick 230, used on Matt Cassel, plus a 2006 fifth-rounder, creating far greater downstream value.

Green Bay traded the 36th pick in the 2006 draft to New England for Nos. 52 and 75, then selected Greg Jennings and Jason Spitz. Jennings became a Pro Bowl-caliber receiver and key part of the Packers' championship offense, while Spitz started 45 games for Green Bay. New England used No. 36 on Chad Jackson, whose Patriots tenure was brief and limited.

Green Bay traded picks No. 41, 73 and 83 to New England for No. 26 and No. 162, then selected Clay Matthews and Jamon Meredith. Matthews became a six-time Pro Bowler, first-team All-Pro and one of the defining defenders of the Packers' Super Bowl XLV era. New England received Darius Butler, Brandon Tate and valuable maneuvering room from No. 73, but nothing in the return matched Matthews.

Green Bay traded picks No. 90 and No. 163 to New England for No. 62 and selected Casey Hayward. Hayward intercepted six passes as a rookie and became a high-level Packers defensive back before later earning Pro Bowls elsewhere. New England selected Jake Bequette and then flipped No. 163 for Nate Ebner, Alfonzo Dennard and Jeremy Ebert. The Patriots recovered useful depth, but Hayward was the best direct outcome.

Green Bay sent three late-round picks to New England to move up for linebacker Terrell Manning at No. 163 in 2012. Manning barely contributed for the Packers, while the Patriots turned the return into Nate Ebner, Alfonzo Dennard and Jeremy Ebert. Ebner became a long-tenured special teams player and Dennard supplied useful defensive snaps. New England extracted substantially more value from the late-round bundle and wins the trade.

Green Bay sent Jerel Worthy to New England in August 2014 for a conditional 2015 draft choice. Worthy did not make the Patriots' opening roster, and the pick did not convey. The Packers moved on from a former second-round selection but received no draft compensation, leaving little realized value to reward in this particular exchange.

Green Bay traded picks No. 166 and 247 to New England to move up to No. 147 for quarterback Brett Hundley. Hundley eventually started nine games during Aaron Rodgers' 2017 injury but went 3-6 and never became a long-term Packers answer. New England used No. 166 on long snapper Joe Cardona, who became a decade-long specialist and part of two Super Bowl championship teams. That longevity gives the Patriots the win.
