Has there been any trades other than Wilsons where you felt JS got the better side of the deal? No not many. I always feel like JS tend to give up more and get less than most teams GM's.

Williams worked out. We had to give up a 2nd because the Giants ate cap. Williams should've been an AP and not an alternate pro bowler. One of the biggest snubs of the awards this season. Duane Brown also wasn't too terrible.

But you're right. Most of the trades he's done hasn't worked out. Harvin, Graham, Richardson, Adams... woof. Jones helped the run D but Howell seems terrible lol.

Not many that lived up to expectations, that's for sure... M. Lynch was another one that panned out for us... We traded a 4th rounder for him...

Jamal Adams: Worst trade of all time... Especially since we didn't agree to a contract at the time of the trade... Disaster from the beginning...

Duane Brown: Solid trade... He panned out to be a very important piece in the COG, outside his last year or two w/ the Hawks...

Jimmy Graham: I'm going to give this one a wash... We traded a often injuried C and a 1st rounder for a TE who was one of the best in the NFL at the time... The only thing that went wrong with this trade, was the fact that the Seahawks didn't utilize the TE as often as the Saints did instead, we expected him to run block more than he was used to...

Percy Harvin: Dude was one of the top WR's in the NFL... A 1st rounder for him at the time didn't seam unreasonable considering the situation our WR core was in at the time... I don't know too many people who were sad about this deal at the time it was made...

Here are a few other noteables when considering JS trades... These were to fill a hole, trades made to position themselves in the draft to select them, etc... Chris Carson, Kam Chancellor, Chris Clemons, Jadeveon Clowney, Charles Cross, Michael Dickson, Quandre Diggs, Carlos Dunlap II, Bruce Irvin, Tyler Lockett, Boye Mafe, DK Metcalf, Jarran Reed, Love...

Harvin was NEVER one of the top WR in the NFL or even IN THE TOP 10, he was a speedy gimmick WR who was also a specialist returning kicks WHO WAS OFTEN INJURED and only played in 6 games for the Seahawks over 2 years. Only 1 time in his 9 year career did he play a "Full" season and NEVER reached 1000 receiving in a season even though he had a season with almost 90 rec. he still failed to reach 1,000 yards.

You can be loud with your CAPS all you want but when we traded for him at the time, it was a very big deal throughout the NFL community... At the time, Percy was a great all around player who did many things very well... He didn't pan out out for us, that much is obvious but it doesn't take away from the fact that he was a versatile, dynamic player who was very productive on offense and special teams when we seeked out a trade for him... Defenses had to scheme for him when he was on the field... Yes, he didn't pan out AFTER we traded for him like we had hoped for but at the time of the trade, it didn't seem unreasonable...

He was talented no doubt, but he had a history that indicated mental problems going back to his college days and continued in the pros. Likely caused the Seahawks to take character into consideration in evaluating players going forward.

caps is not "Loud" its to EMPHASIZE points. Whoever thought typing caps is a sign of anger or loudness, yelling .. its freaking TEXT and only a fragile mind would think its some kind of attack. lol Im sure it was just kids think well i cant yell at them so ILL TYPE ALL CAPS AND ADD A BUNCH OF !!! IM SO MAD!!! lol

Harven was a player that at any given moment would flash but he was NEVER a top WR, not once. Not EVER lol.

Ok.., I’ll just look at you like this anytime you put a capital word in place. You’re just quoting the word with your fingers. I get it.

Definitely had a history of characteristic issues. And I’m glad the Seahawks learned from it. I’m by no means sticking up for Harvin because like most of you, I felt like that ended up to be a disaster outside the Super Bowl.

Duane Brown, Leonard Williams, and Ernest Jones I would say were all very good in terms of how it worked out. But there are many more that didn't end up well, and it wouldn't ruin my year if we stopped trading picks for players. Players for picks has been a bit more fruitful.
