NFL Trade Verdict

Even Trade

Summary: Pittsburgh acquired Curtis Brown (Jerome) from Buffalo Bills for undisclosed draft pick (not exercised). Analysis: The available record points to a balanced exchange rather than a clear steal. Pittsburgh addressed its roster or draft-board preference, while Buffalo Bills received comparable value in return. The grade is deliberately conservative because part of the source record is incomplete, conditional, approximate, or still too recent for a firm historical verdict.
