Chronological Timeline
Trade 1 of 2
Seattle sold Rick Mirer after four uneven seasons and received Chicago’s 11th overall pick in the 1997 draft, while sending back Mirer and a fourth-rounder. That was exceptional value for a quarterback whose early promise had faded. The Seahawks later used the first-round asset in further draft maneuvering, while Mirer lasted only one season in Chicago. Moving him before his market disappeared made this a decisive Seattle win.
Trade 2 of 2
Seattle sent Atlanta picks 11, 41, 70 and 100 in 1997 for No. 3 and No. 63. The Seahawks drafted Pro Bowl cornerback Shawn Springs third overall, then used the acquired third-rounder as part of the move from No. 12 to No. 6 that landed Hall of Fame tackle Walter Jones. Atlanta received four players but no comparable star, making Seattle's return overwhelming.
