The closer the Seahawks get to cut down day, the more active they'll be on the trade market.
Operating with a glut of talent at several positions, Seattle has been gauging the returns they might get for cornerback Jeremy Lane, running back Alex Collins and wideout Jermaine Kearse, .
The emergence of receivers like Tyler Lockett and Kasen Williams, cornerbacks like rookie Shaquill Griffin and running backs Chris Carson and Thomas Rawls have made this week a potential mid-round pick goldmine for general manager John Schneider -- an executive who may be more dangerous with third- to seventh-round picks than any other in the league.
While NFL cut down week is grim and represents a massive hurdle for hundreds of players attempting to make a roster, it has also brought about a heavy increase in player for player deals or simply player for pick trades before rosters get trimmed. The stock market floor-type frenzy has taken on a smaller scale baseball trade deadline feel, with teams rapidly making one call after another to try and pluck the best soon to be free agents.
As I noted in a primer for the Sept. 1 roster downsizing, personnel departments are worn thin trying to keep track of which players teams might cut. One of the best solutions? . Seattle is waiting for your call.
