Buffalo Bills and Seattle Seahawks
Seattle acquired Marshawn Lynch from Buffalo for a 2011 fourth-round pick and a conditional 2012 choice that became a fifth-rounder. Lynch became a franchise icon, rushing for 6,347 yards and 57 touchdowns during his initial Seahawks run while helping Seattle win Super Bowl XLVIII. Buffalo received Chris Hairston and Tank Carder from the picks, but their value could not approach Lynch's transformational impact.

Las Vegas Raiders and Seattle Seahawks
Oakland brought Marshawn Lynch out of retirement and received Seattle's 2018 sixth-round pick while sending back a fifth-rounder. Lynch gave his hometown Raiders 1,267 rushing yards and 10 touchdowns over 21 games. Seattle used the fifth-round pick on cornerback Tre Flowers, who became a multi-year starter. Both clubs received exactly the kind of useful, medium-term value they were seeking, making the exchange remarkably balanced.
Assets Received
Seattle Seahawks
- Pick 2018 5th round pick (146th overall, Tre Flowers)
Las Vegas Raiders
- Player Marshawn Lynch
- Pick 2018 6th round pick (192nd overall subsequently traded, Jamil Demby)
