Ravens acquire: WR Denzel Mims
Jets obtain: 2023 conditional sixth-round choice

Dolphins acquire: OLB Robert Quinn
Bears acquire: 2024 fourth-round choice, 2023 seventh-round choice

Quinn has actually been a profession chip since Khalil Mack was relocated this offseason. And also Miami, which used him for a solitary period back in 2018, rates 22nd in protective sack percent.

Seahawks acquire: Pound Roquan Smith
Bears acquire: 2023 third-round choice, 2024 fourth-round choice
