A year after 15 deals took place before the NFL’s trade deadline, 19 players changed teams during the 2024 in-season trade window, which closed Tuesday. Wide receivers were in high demand, as were pass rushers. In many cases, the rich seemed to get richer.

Here’s a look at some of the winners and losers of the trade window:

Winners

Chiefs: Injuries have ravaged the wide receiver unit of the two-time defending Super Bowl champions. So GM Brett Veach went out and got Patrick Mahomes and Andy Reid a new weapon in the form of DeAndre Hopkins, a five-time Pro Bowl and three-time all-Pro wideout. It appears as if Hopkins is making a seamless transition from the Titans to the Chiefs. He had eight catches for 86 yards and two TDs in Monday night’s OT win against the Buccaneers. And if that weren’t enough, Veach also worked to fortify the Chiefs’ already stout defense by acquiring pass rusher Josh Uche from the Patriots. Veach had to give up only a conditional fifth-rounder for Hopkins and sixth for Uche. The only negative for the Chiefs: It didn’t land help at defensive back, another area of real need.

Lions: They lost their star pass rusher Aidan Hutchinson to a tibia and fibula injury and their defense still remained disruptive in the three weeks since. It was no secret, though, that the Lions wanted pass rushers to help fill the massive void. On Tuesday, they landed one of the top edges on the trade block in Za’Darius Smith, who recorded five sacks, seven quarterback hits and 23 tackles for the Browns this season. Count Smith as a winner as well. He goes from the Browns, who could suffer double-digit losses this season, to the Lions — legit Super Bowl contenders.

Ravens: The Ravens scored on multiple fronts. First: The Panthers were so desperate, they were willing to part with receiver Diontae Johnson for virtually nothing (a late-round pick swap). Johnson, who earned Pro Bowl honors in 2021 with the Steelers after recording 1,161 receiving yards, had averaged 873 receiving yards per season entering 2024 and should help improve a unit that features Zay Flowers and Rashod Bateman. Second: The Ravens got help for their defense by acquiring Tre’Davious White from the Rams. White, 29, earned Pro Bowl honors in 2019 and 2020 but has since battled injuries. He has played in only four games this season but could bring depth to the Ravens’ secondary if he can stay healthy. If not, they gave up next to nothing (a seventh-round pick swap) to get him.

Steelers: First they got much-needed help at receiver, landing veteran receiver Mike Williams from the Jets. Then they got a durable pass rusher to line up opposite T.J. Watt by acquiring Preston Smith from the Packers. The Steelers are working hard to maintain their edge over the Ravens in the AFC North standings.

Commanders: On one hand, the acquisition of cornerback Marshon Lattimore from the Saints helps fill a real position of need. On the other, the Commanders gave up a third-, fourth- and sixth-round pick for a player who hasn’t played a full season since 2021. But if Lattimore can stay on the field and play at his four-time Pro-Bowl level, this move makes the Commanders better. If his playing time remains sporadic, giving up third- and fourth-round picks (potential core players) will sting a bit.

Losers

Packers, Vikings: The Lions remained formidable without a top-level replacement for Hutchinson and still earned victories over their two NFC North title challengers to improve to 7-1. Now defensive coordinator Aaron Glenn receives additional help to go after Sam Darnold and Jordan Love while the Lions try to add to their division lead.

Giants: Other teams had interest in pass rusher Azeez Ojulari, but none of the offers satisfied the Giants enough to pull the trigger on a deal. Ojulari has six sacks despite playing behind Brian Burns and Kayvon Thibodeaux; he could have helped someone else, and the Giants could have used the future picks to fortify their weak roster. Instead, Ojulari stays put and the Giantes added no resources.

Jets: Yes, they got three-time All-Pro receiver Davante Adams, which makes QB Aaron Rodgers happy. But was it really worth it? A dramatic turnaround appears highly unlikely for the 3-6 Jets, who would have done better to unload veterans beyond Williams and get more picks for the future, even if general manager Joe Douglas may not be around to use those picks next spring.
