Trade Analysis

The Exchange

NFL and Pro Football Reference trade records confirm Green Bay sent Quinn Johnson to Tennessee on September 3, 2011 for a conditional 2012 draft choice. Pro Football Reference explicitly records that the pick was not conveyed, so Green Bay received no realized draft return.

Tennessee Return

Johnson became a real roster contributor rather than a camp-only acquisition. Pro Football Reference credits him with 24 Titans regular-season games and nine starts from 2011 through 2013. His largest role came in 2012, when he played all 16 games and started eight at fullback. He also caught eight passes for 70 yards across the three Tennessee seasons and carried four times for five yards.

Green Bay Return

The conditional pick did not convey. Green Bay therefore received no draft selection, player or other measurable downstream asset from the completed transaction.

Hindsight Comparison

Tennessee obtained three seasons of useful fullback depth and nine starts while paying no realized draft cost. Green Bay moved a player who was no longer central to its plans but did not receive an asset in return because the condition failed.

Final Verdict

Houston Oilers/Tennessee Titans Win. A B- reflects three seasons and nine starts from Johnson at no realized draft cost. Green Bay receives a D+ because the conditional return never conveyed and produced no franchise value.
