Out goes a corner, in comes a linebacker for the Seahawks.
The Seattle Seahawks have made their second trade this month, sending cornerback Mike Jackson Sr to the Carolina Panthers for rookie seventh-round linebacker Michael Barrett. There was always the chance that Jackson would be traded given the current state of the cornerback room, but to actually get a player in return is something of a surprise. With a little bit of time to digest the situation, here’s how I feel about the Seahawks’ decision and general process.
Pritchett has been almost exclusively on the outside, whereas James has been predominantly in the slot but has played outside in 26 of his 80 snaps. They’re both on four-year contracts and long-term plays , so while there might have been some debate over whether or not one of them could miss the cut, I think Jackson’s departure substantially increases their chances of being on the 53-man roster next week. Also keep in mind that the Seahawks have Brown and Artie Burns also on expiring deals.
