Which team made your favorite trade since training camp?

Matt Bowen, NFL writer: Patriots get wide receiver Mohamed Sanu for a 2020 second-round pick. New England made an aggressive move to get Sanu, parting with a valuable pick. With Josh Gordon now on injured reserve, Sanu fills an immediate need in New England as a veteran target for quarterback Tom Brady.

Mike Clay, NFL writer: Seahawks get Jadeveon Clowney for a 2020 third-round pick, Jacob Martin and Barkevious Mingo. As much as I want to credit the Dolphins for several savvy moves as they build for the future, Seattle managing to acquire a 26-year-old franchise player for a Day 2 pick and a pair of reserves (who have combined to play 77 snaps for Houston, by the way) was thievery. Clowney has only two sacks, but his 37 pass-rush wins are third most in the league. Seattle will either extend one of the league's best pass-rushers this offseason or land a midround compensatory pick if Clowney signs elsewhere.
