We have arrived at the NFL trade deadline week, specifically for the Seattle Seahawks, which typically comes with the potential for intriguing trades, although significant activity rarely occurs. In recent years, there have been some minor or mid-tier trades happening on the actual deadline day itself, so it isn’t entirely accurate to label it as a “nothing happens” scenario. This year, there have indeed been notable in-season trades, including those of Quenton Nelson and Jeffery Simmons just a short time ago, along with Joey Porter Jr joining the Dallas Cowboys and Marvin Harrison Jr moving to the Houston Texans.
For the second consecutive year, the trade deadline falls during Week 10. The Seattle Seahawks are known to be active as the deadline approaches, and so far, they have executed one significant trade. Will John Schneider orchestrate another midseason coup akin to what he achieved with Leonard Williams, Quandre Diggs, Carlos Dunlap, and other names from earlier trade deadline deals? Keep an eye on Field Gulls’ trade tracker throughout Monday and Tuesday, and we will discover how the Seahawks plan to adjust following a rocky 5-4 start.
Have the Seattle Seahawks made any trades during the regular season?
Indeed. They acquired veteran guard Quenton Nelson from the Indianapolis Colts in exchange for a 2027 third-round pick and a fifth-round pick in 2028.
Who could the Seahawks potentially consider trading?
No obvious candidates come to mind immediately. Players like Dante Fowler Jr have seen limited action this year, though they likely wouldn’t garner any substantial return in a trade. Emanuel Wilson’s unsigned status is something to keep an eye on, although he also isn’t considered a valuable trade asset, and Seattle might be hesitant to trade away any competent RB due to the existing injury issues in the depth chart.
What positions might the Seahawks be looking to strengthen?
Positions such as edge rusher and wide receiver appear to be areas of concern for Seattle. The injury to Rashid Shaheed and the generally modest performance of the receiving corps could influence the Seahawks’ decisions at receiver. Currently, the edge rushing group is effectively three-deep, and with Derick Hall and Connor O’Toole being the only players under contract beyond 2027, some strategic forward planning may be necessary. Will McDonald IV from the New York Jets has allegedly requested a trade and could be one to monitor closely.
When does the NFL trade deadline close?
The window closes at 4 pm ET/1 pm PT on Tuesday, Nov. 10.
