Trade Analysis
Both sides received meaningful value. Denver added Tom Burleson, Bob Wilkerson and the pick used on Steve Sheppard, while Seattle received veteran leadership from Paul Silas and later benefited from Marvin Webster's prime. Denver gained depth and youth, but Seattle's outgoing and incoming value was strong enough to leave the overall result Even.
