The NFL Trade Deadline has come and gone. Once again, it was a quiet day around the league. Bill Belichick is rarely quiet on the trade front.

The Patriots were the most active team over the past few weeks, including shipping off Jamie Collins. Over his career in New England, Bill Belichick has been involved in a high number of trades.

These trades have mostly been used to acquire draft picks (who turned into great players), but some have seen New England ship picks away for star players.

Vince Wilfork, Julian Edelman, Randy Moss and even Rob Gronkowski all came to the Patriots through trades in one way or the other. While some trades seem puzzling (Chandler Jones, Jamie Collins recently), Bill always seems to come out on top.

I’m sure there will be some big trades in his future. Could Garropolo be the next big name to go? The following are Bill Belichick’s 10 best Patriots trades of all time.
