The Seattle Seahawks made a trade on Friday, sending linebacker Darrell Taylor to the Chicago Bears in exchange for a sixth-round pick in the upcoming 2025 NFL draft. Taylor, a 2020 second-round pick out of Tennessee, missed his rookie season due to a leg injury but has since played in 49 games, making 13 starts. In 2022, he led the team with 9 1/2 sacks.

Taylor was part of the Seahawks’ outside linebacker rotation alongside players like Uchenna Nwosu, Dre’Mont Jones, Boye Mafe, and Derick Hall. This trade follows another move by the Seahawks, acquiring linebacker Michael Barrett from the Carolina Panthers in exchange for cornerback Michael Jackson.

These transactions showcase the Seahawks’ efforts to make changes to their roster as they prepare for the upcoming NFL season. Fans will be looking forward to seeing how these trades impact the team’s performance on the field.
