Seattle Seahawks and Cleveland Browns
Seattle moved veteran backup quarterback Trent Dilfer to Cleveland for the 126th pick in the 2005 draft. The Browns received 11 starts from Dilfer, but Seattle later combined pick No. 126 with Nos. 54 and 121 to move up for linebacker Lofa Tatupu. Because that choice helped produce a cornerstone defender for the Seahawks' Super Bowl team, Seattle owns the stronger long-term return.
Assets Received
Seattle Seahawks
- Pick 2005 4th round pick (126th overall, later included in trade for Lofa Tatupu)
