2018 NFL Trade Deadline: Complete Roundup Of All The Deals
The NFL trade deadline has come and gone as a number of players changed teams on Tuesday. Although certain big names like Le’Veon Bell weren't traded, there were still some prominent names who will now ply their trades for new teams.
Here is a complete roundup of all the trades that occurred on deadline day:
Ha-Ha Clinton-Dix
The Green Bay Packers somewhat surprisingly traded safety Ha-Ha Clinton-Dix to the Washington Redskins in exchange for a 2019 fourth-round draft pick.
The former first-round pick has 27 combined tackles, three interceptions and averages a sack per game, and gives the NFC East leaders a solid addition to their defensive line.
Golden Tate
The Philadelphia Eagles acquired Detroit Lions wide receiver Golden Tate in exchange for a 2019 third-round draft pick.
Tate has posted 517 receiving yards and three touchdown receptions on 44 catches this season so far, and will give quarterback Carson Wentz another passing option as the defending Super Bowl champions (4-4) look to get their season on track again.
Tate, who will be a free agent at the end of the season, was reportedly of interest to the New England Patriots heading into deadline day.
Demaryius Thomas
Denver Broncos wide receiver Demaryius Thomas was traded to the Houston Texans for fourth and seventh-round picks in the 2019 NFL draft. Denver will also send a seventh-round pick to Houston.
Thomas has 36 receptions for 402 yards and three touchdowns this season, and was not expected to be dealt. However, the Broncos will now free up cap space while the Texans have a replacement for Will Fuller who is out for the season after tearing his ACL in Week 8.
Like Tate, Thomas was also of interest to the Patriots.
Dante Fowler
The Los Angeles Rams traded a 2019 third-round pick and a 2020 fifth-round pick for Jacksonville Jaguars outside linebacker Dante Fowler.
Fowler was unlikely to re-sign with the Jaguars in free agency at the end of the season so it's a good deal for them considering what they got in return. For the Rams, however, it is risky, especially as Fowler could be nothing more than a rental until the end of the season.
The 24-year-old has eight combined tackles and averages 2.0 sacks per game this season.
Ty Montgomery
Packers running back Ty Montgomery essentially cost his team a shot at defeating the Los Angeles Rams last week when he fumbled a kickoff return and has seemingly been cut as a result.
He was traded to the Baltimore Ravens in exchange for a 2020 seventh-round pick and will give the 2012 Super Bowl champions more depth behind the duo of Alex Collins and Javorius Allen.
The 25-year-old has 26 carries for 105 yards and one rushing touchdown this season.
Other trades
- The Cleveland Browns traded running back Carlos Hyde to the Jaguars for a 2019 fifth-round pick.
- The Oakland Raiders traded wide receiver Amari Cooper to the Dallas Cowboys for a 2019 first-round pick.
- The New York Giants traded cornerback Eli Apple to the New Orleans Saints for a 2019 fourth-round pick and a 2020 seventh-round pick.
