I know we all have talked some of these, but I think it helps to have this broken out separately for better discussion:
Best way to do this I guess will be chronologically:
1) Chiefs send Qb Alex Smith to Washington for 3rd round draft pick of Washington's and Cb Kendall Fuller - this was a key deal for KC - it gives them some cap room, clears way for Mahomes to take over, and fills need at CB - which comes from their next trade.
2) Chiefs send Cb Marcus Peters and pick 196 this year to Rams for pick 124 this year and a 2019 2nd round pick. - Chiefs use Fuller to fill hole for Peters loss, move up in this draft and get solid 2nd round pick next year.
3) L.A. Rams send Robert Quinn DE to Miami for....
This was a cap move - Rams wanted more space and Miami desperately needed pass rush help
4) Seattle trades DE Michael Bennett to Philadelphia for a 5th round pick this year and Wr Marcus Johnson - Cap space help for Seattle, and the first stage of the dismantalling of Legion of Boom - plus flyer wr incase they lose Paul Richardson to FA. Eagles get solid replacement for Vinny Curry who they will cut or trade for cap space, and move inside to help Fletcher with inside pass rush.
5) Rams trade Alex Ogletree OLB and 7th round pick to Giants for 4th and 6th round draft picks this year - again cap space for Rams maybe to retain Watkins and Barron - Giants needed cover OLB for quite a while.
6) Denver sends Cb Aqib Talib to L.A. Rams for a 5th round draft pick this year - cap move for denver, and this make for potentially the most ......explosive and dirty defensive back field with Rams now having Peters and Talib. But the good news? Rams play Oakland this year...so Talib may still get to go head to head with Crabtree
7) Eagles sends WR Torrey Smith Carolina for Cb Daryl Worley - Once again, Philly deals away a player they don't need to get some value. Eagles need protection in case Patrick Peterson walks in FA, and this is a cap help. In Smith's defense he was open more than he got passes tossed to him, but he once again showed his propencity to drop passes. So Carolina gets some Wr help for Funchess.
8) Browns send picks in 2018 4th round and 2019 7th round to Miami for Wr Jarvis Landry - this was obvious need for Cleveland they desperately needed playmakers on that side of the ball. Miami gets picks plus cap space.
9) Browns send 3rd round pick to Buffalo for Qb Tyrod Taylor. - Bridge QB? I think so, I think this allows Cleveland to draft Barkley at #1, and then go QB at #4 - and protects them if NY Giants or Indy take their Qb.
Buffalo now as the trade capitol if they want to deal with either Giants or Colts to move up and take Qb of the future they want.
10) Browns send Qb DeShone Kizer to Green Bay for Cb Damarious Randall - Browns clearing space for Taylor and future draft Qb while possibly solving their FS position - Green bay moves a struggling CB gets some cap help and has Qb to groom for if or when Rodgers is gone.
11) Browns send DT Danny Shelton to N.E. for a conditional draft pick - decent player for N.E. not heard what the pick compensation is yet.
12) Buffalo sends Cordy Glenn OT and the #21 pick in 2018 and a 5th round pick for Bengals #12 pick in first round this year and a 6th round pick - Buffalo being the next Philly to move up to get their Qb???
13) Jets sends #3 1st round pick this year to Colts for #6 this year, 2 2nd round picks this year and a 2nd rounder next year - Great move for Indy and Jets moving to get their Qb.
14)Raiders trade Wr Cordarrelle Patterson to Patriots for swap of late round picks - picks supposed are Pats send 5th round pick of Cleveland they got last year for one of Oakland 6th round picks - Belichick wanting a returner??
15) Giants trade DE Jason Pierre-Paul and a 2018 4th round pick to Tampa Bay for a 2018 3rd round pick and a 2014 fourth round pick - Giants clearing more salary cap out?
16) Washington sends Su'a Cravens S plus a 4th round pick and a fifth round pick to Denver for a 4th round pick and 2 5th round picks all in 2018.
17) Cleveland sends Qb Cody Kessler to Jacksonville for a conditional 2018 7th round pick - New back up Qb in Jacksonville
18) New England sends Wr Brandin Cooks and a 4th round pick(#136) to Los Angeles Rams for a 2018 first round pick (#23) and a 2018 6th round pick (#198) - Patriots could not get extension worked out with Cooks so sends him to Rams... So much for OBJ in Ram land
19) Browns send Qb Kevin Hogan and their 6th round pick to Washington for the Redskins 6th round pick - that clears all the old Qbs now out of Cleveland.
