TradeVerdicts records 3 trades between
Arizona Cardinals and Seattle Seahawks across 1981–1995. Historical
franchise identities are normalized to the current franchises here,
while each underlying trade keeps its own sourced date, assets,
grades, and verdict.
This page includes every public TradeVerdicts record in which both
current franchises participate. Multi-team trades remain in the
chronology when both clubs are part of the transaction.

Seattle acquired running back Theotis Brown from the Cardinals on October 13, 1981, for two fourth-round choices: No. 90 in 1982, used on Tootie Robbins, and No. 96 in 1983, used on Mark Duda. Brown immediately became a featured runner in Seattle and produced meaningful offense during the remainder of the 1981 season.
1990 conditional draft pick (trade criteria not met)
Seattle sent center Kevin Thomas to Phoenix on August 7, 1989, for a conditional 1990 draft choice. Seattle’s own transaction history says the trade criteria were not met, so the pick never became usable draft capital. Thomas was then waived by Phoenix later that month, leaving both clubs with almost no lasting football value from the move.
Seattle acquired wide receiver Ricky Proehl from Arizona on April 3, 1995, for a fourth-round selection, No. 106 overall. Proehl gave the Seahawks two seasons of useful veteran receiving depth before continuing a long NFL career elsewhere. The cost was modest Day 3 capital, making Seattle the side that realized the clearer direct football return.
