Green Bay acquired defensive back Derrick Martin from…

The Exchange

Green Bay and Baltimore completed the Tony Moll-for-Derrick Martin swap on September 5, 2009. The Packers added a defensive back, while the Ravens added offensive-line depth. Because the transaction was a direct exchange of two players rather than a pick-driven deal, its long-term value depends on whether either club found substantially more usable service from the player it received.

Baltimore Ravens Return

Green Bay acquired defensive back Derrick Martin from Baltimore for offensive lineman Tony Moll just before the 2009 season. Both players supplied depth for their new clubs, but neither became a high-impact long-term starter or created a meaningful secondary asset trail. The teams addressed different roster needs without producing a clear value gap, making an even C/C result appropriate.

Green Bay Packers Return

Baltimore received Tony Moll from Green Bay and sent Derrick Martin to the Packers in the September 2009 exchange. Moll and Martin each provided useful roster depth, yet neither return became significant enough to separate the clubs in hindsight. With no premium pick involved and no major downstream value created, the trade lands squarely in the middle for both sides.

Value in Hindsight

This is the type of trade that can be sensible for both teams without creating a strong winner. Each club moved a player from one position group to fill a different need, and each received some NFL service in return. Neither side gained a premium asset, a long-term cornerstone, or a meaningful downstream benefit. The modest outcomes are close enough that equal grades best represent the exchange.

Final Verdict

The trade is even at C/C. Baltimore and Green Bay each received usable depth and avoided a damaging loss, but neither club turned the exchange into a lasting advantage. It was a functional roster move rather than a franchise-shaping transaction, and the balanced grades reflect that limited but legitimate value.
