Eagles trade for Lions WR Golden Tate

Date: Oct. 30

Philadelphia acquired the 30-year-old Tate, who will be a free agent in 2019, for a third-round pick. Tate had 44 catches and three touchdowns in Detroit this season.


Date: Oct. 30

Houston is getting some receiver help in adding the former first-rounder Thomas, who had 665 catches and 60 touchdowns in his nine-plus seasons in Denver. The Texans are trading fourth- and seventh-round picks to the Broncos for Thomas and a seventh-round pick.

The Texans have traded a fourth-round pick and a seventh-round pick to the Broncos for wide receiver Demaryius Thomas and a seventh-round pick. The Texans were in desperate need of a receiver after Will Fuller tore the ACL in his right knee in Houston’s Week 8 victory against the Miami Dolphins. Without Fuller, Houston had just one proven pass-catcher — DeAndre Hopkins. Thomas’ first game for Houston will be on Sunday in Denver.

New York got a fifth-round pick from Detroit in the deal. The 29-year-old Harrison is in his seventh year in the league. He signed a five-year, $46.25 million contract with the Giants in 2016.

The Detroit Lions have allowed the sixth-most schedule-adjusted fantasy points to RBs, and the most yards per carry between the tackles (6.2). Damon Harrison’s addition won’t completely fix that, but it’ll result in that matchup moving down a couple notches.

Apple, the No. 10 overall pick in the 2016 draft, started 13 games for the Giants over the last three seasons, with one interception and five forced fumbles. To acquire Apple, the Saints traded a fourth-round pick in next year’s draft and a seventh-rounder in 2020, a source told ESPN.

Eli Apple had his ups and downs with Giants, who gave him a “clean slate” this offseason. He played better this year but they ultimately wanted to move on from the 2016 first-round pick. Saints are now on the hook for his remaining $1.1 million in base salary this season, but Giants will still have $2.3M in dead money on next year’s ledger.

Date: Oct. 22

The Raiders will receive a first-round draft pick in exchange, a source told ESPN’s Adam Schefter. Oakland will now have three first-round picks in 2019 after also getting the Bears’ selection in last month’s Khalil Mack trade. Cooper, 24, has just 22 catches for 280 yards and one touchdown in his first six games this season.

After trading WR Amari Cooper to the Cowboys, the Raiders have three first-round picks in the 2019 NFL draft. Since the common draft era began in 1967, a team has used at least three first-round picks 15 times. The most recent instances were the 2017 Browns, the 2013 Vikings and the 2001 Rams. The 2000 Jets had four first-round picks, an NFL record.

Date: Oct. 19

Jacksonville, in need of rushing help because Leonard Fournette is out indefinitely with a hamstring injury, traded a fifth-round draft pick to Cleveland for Hyde. Hyde had rushed for 382 yards and five touchdowns in his first season in Cleveland. He just barely missed rushing for 1,000 yards in each of the past two seasons with the 49ers.


Date: Sept. 25

Carolina continued its pipeline with Buffalo, trading for backup tackle Newhouse to help with depth on an injury-plagued line. The Bills will receive a conditional late 2021 draft pick. Buffalo used Newhouse in its first three games as a sixth offensive lineman in running situations. He played 11 offensive snaps and was called for two penalties, a holding and a false start.


Date: Sept. 17

The Browns will get a 2019 fifth-round pick, while the Pats will get a 2019 seventh-round pick from the Browns if Gordon is not active for 10 games. The Patriots will pay Gordon, who is a restricted free agent in 2019, the remaining $697,058 on his 2018 contract.


Date: Sept. 1

Chicago reached a record-setting six-year, $141 million extension with Mack after acquiring him from Oakland. Mack is now the highest-paid defensive player in NFL history. The Bears gave up first-round picks in 2019 and 2020, a third-round pick in 2020 and a sixth-round pick in 2019 to acquire him. In return, the Bears also received a second-round pick in 2020 and a conditional fifth-round pick in 2020.


Date: Sept. 1

Buffalo will receive a 2019 fifth-round draft pick. The Raiders will owe McCarron his fully guaranteed, $900,000 base salary this season. In March, the Bills signed the 27-year-old McCarron to a two-year, $10 million contract, which included a $4 million signing bonus, after trading starting quarterback Tyrod Taylor to the Browns.


Date: Sept. 1

With starting left tackle Matt Kalil expected to be out with a knee injury, Carolina traded an undisclosed draft pick to Detroit for Robinson. Robinson was a seventh-round pick for the Lions out of South Carolina in 2015, playing in 23 games and starting in eight. His career has been hampered by foot injuries — including eight missed games last season.


Date: Aug. 31

San Francisco acquired Coleman from Cleveland for a 2019 seventh-round draft pick. The Niners were seeking more depth on the offensive line, and Coleman, a third-round pick by the Browns in 2016, started 16 games at right tackle last season.


Date: Aug. 29

New York dealt Bridgewater and a 2019 sixth-round pick to New Orleans for a 2019 third-round pick. Bridgewater will cost the Saints at least $5 million for one year. He could earn up to $9 million more in incentives based on playing time, yards and touchdowns. Bridgewater played in 29 games for the Vikings in 2014 and 2015 but missed all of 2016 after dislocating his left knee and tearing multiple ligaments on Aug. 30, 2016. He missed most of the 2017 season while still with the Vikings.


Date: Aug. 29

Green Bay traded Hundley to Seattle for a 2019 draft pick before the season, giving the job behind Aaron Rodgers to DeShone Kizer, whom the Packers acquired from the Browns in March in exchange for cornerback Damarious Randall. Hundley went 3-6 in nine starts last season after Rodgers broke his collarbone.


Date: Aug. 28

Baltimore will receive a 2019 sixth-round pick from Tennessee. Correa is a former second-round pick (No. 42 overall) by the Ravens. The third-year linebacker played in 16 games last season, three of which he started. Correa got off to a good start for Baltimore this season. He posted three sacks, six tackles, and two pass breakups in the preseason opener against the Bears.


Date: Aug. 26

Green Bay acquired Morrison from Indianapolis in exchange for cornerback Lenzy Pipkins. Morrison, a fourth-round pick from Florida in 2016, started all 15 games he played in last season and made four starts as a rookie. Pipkins made the Packers’ 53-man roster last season as an undrafted free agent. He appeared in 12 games, mostly on special teams, making one start at cornerback and playing a total of 112 defensive snaps.


Date: Aug. 23

San Francisco will receive a conditional seventh-round pick in 2020 in return. Harold heads to Detroit after three mostly disappointing seasons in San Francisco. A 2015 third-round pick out of Virginia, Harold has played in all 48 games the past three seasons, including 23 as a starter over the past two. Initially expected to provide edge rush help, Harold did not make much of an impact there, with five sacks in three years.
