During March of 2020, the Indianapolis Colts traded their upcoming first round pick for former San Francisco 49ers NFL All-Pro defensive tackle DeForest Buckner.
It wasn’t necessarily by personal choice, as the 49ers were facing salary cap constraints and were only able to re-sign one of Buckner or defensive end Arik Armstread to a lucrative multi-year deal—ultimately choosing to lock up the latter long-term at the other’s expense.

Buckner was then traded to the Colts that spring for their 2020 first round pick, who immediately re-signed him to a 4-year, $84 million contract extension.
