Kansas City sent defensive lineman Alex Magee and a 2011 sixth-round pick to Tampa Bay for a 2011 fifth-rounder. The Chiefs used the pick on quarterback Ricky Stanzi, who never appeared in a regular-season NFL game. Tampa Bay received eight games and two sacks from Magee, while sixth-rounder Allen Bradford appeared only briefly. The Buccaneers win narrowly because Magee supplied the only meaningful immediate production.

Trade Analysis
Why the Chiefs and Buccaneers Made the Deal
In October 2010, Kansas City traded defensive lineman Alex Magee and a 2011 sixth-round pick to Tampa Bay for a 2011 fifth-round selection. The Chiefs were moving a young player who had not established a large role, while Tampa Bay was willing to add defensive-line depth and slide back one round in the following draft.
What Tampa Bay Received
Magee immediately entered the Buccaneers’ rotation. He appeared in eight games after the trade and recorded two sacks, giving Tampa Bay a short burst of defensive production. The sixth-round selection became Allen Bradford, a running back who appeared in only one game for the Buccaneers and carried five times for 13 yards. The package therefore produced limited but measurable on-field value.
What Kansas City Received
Kansas City used the 135th selection in 2011 on Iowa quarterback Ricky Stanzi. He remained in the Chiefs organization as a developmental backup but never appeared in a regular-season NFL game. A fifth-round quarterback does not need to become a starter to justify the pick, but the complete absence of game action leaves the Chiefs with very little realized return.
How the Value Compares
Neither side uncovered a long-term contributor. Tampa Bay’s advantage comes almost entirely from Magee’s eight-game stint and two sacks. Bradford added almost nothing, while Stanzi never reached the field in a regular-season game. That is enough separation for a narrow verdict, not a strong grade.
Final Verdict
Tampa Bay Buccaneers Win. The Buccaneers earn a C for receiving some defensive production from Magee. Kansas City receives a D+ because the fifth-round pick never produced regular-season playing value. The trade remains small in scale and close in consequence.
