Broncos acquire defensive lineman Smith from Patriots
Posted by Gregg Rosenthal on August 17, 2009 11:27 AM ET
Five months after the Matt Cassel trade rumors reached Jay Cutler's sensitive ears, the Broncos and Patriots finally made a deal happen Monday.

This one won't shake up the rest of the league quite as much.

Fox's Alex Marvez has the terms: The Broncos acquired reserve defensive end Le Kevin Smith and a 2010 seventh-round pick from the Patriots in exchange for Denver's 2010 fifth-round selection.

Smith was a rarely used reserve since getting taken as a sixth-round pick in 2006, but will give Denver another body for their thin defensive line.

The move also takes care of some housekeeping for the Patriots. Denver's fifth-round pick will likely be sent to Oakland to complete the Derrick Burgess trade. Oakland also received a third-round pick in 2010 in that deal.

Never trust a man with "Le ..." as a name.

The only other thing I know like that was Le Car. And it sucked.

He didn't get to play much with the Pats. But he was pretty damn good with the Huskers. Which kills me since he's now a Bronco.

He was a 6th. They traded him and a 7th for a 5th. Thsi is akin to trading two bottle caps for a marble.

Man, the Broncos are New England West, aren't they. What's that, about 7 of last year's Patriots on their team now? You guys only got 2, but at least you got 2 decent ones, LOL...

I'm not sure where you're getting your numbers from, but the Chiefs have more than 2 former Patriots on the squad.

As for Smith, the Patriots trade for Burgess called for a 3rd and a 4th next year, but the 4th could be dropped to a 5th if the Patriots got one (the Patriots 5th went to Tampa in the trade for Smith the tight end). This move essentially screws the Raiders out of some draft slotting and gives the Broncos a 7th and a player that will either start or, more likely, be a part of the D-line rotation, and it only cost the Broncos a 5th in return.

It's really a win for the Patriots, a win for the Broncos and a loss for the Raiders.

Thanks for saving me the typing exercise.

I note that I doubt the Raiders were under any illusions about the Pats not finding a way to give them a 5th and get back their 4th.

True and, if the Broncos suck as much as a lot of the Chiefs fans here think they will, the difference between the Patriots' 4th and the Broncos' 5th could be minimal.

Yeah, but this 5th from Denver is going to be too valuable to Belichick, since it'll probably be in the top three in the round.

He'll swing a deal with the SB loser for their 5th to send to the Raiders instead.

Oh, I thought this was in reference to Bowlen and Shanahan selling their souls to the Debil for the way they "beat" the chiefs to go onto the superbowl in '97
