1997 1st round pick (11th overall subsequently traded, Michael Booker)
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.
conditional future draft pick (criteria not met; no pick conveyed)
Seattle Seahawks received
Alain Kashama
Chicago moved Alain Kashama to Seattle near the end of the 2005 preseason for a conditional future choice. Because the trade criteria were not met, the Bears never received a draft selection. Kashama played only one regular-season game for the Seahawks that year, so Chicago lost little future value but also gained no realized compensation from the transaction.
Chicago traded veteran safety Mike Green to Seattle on April 25, 2006 for the 200th pick in that year's draft. The Bears used the sixth-round selection on guard Tyler Reed, who did not appear in an NFL regular-season game. Chicago gained a draft asset for a veteran it was willing to move, but the selected player produced no realized NFL game value.
Seattle moved up from No. 68 to No. 49 in 2009 and landed center Max Unger, who became a long-term starter, a first-team All-Pro and a Super Bowl champion with the Seahawks. Chicago received Jarron Gilbert and Henry Melton; Melton developed into a productive interior defender and a Pro Bowler, giving the Bears real value even though Unger became the best player in the exchange.
Seattle moved up to No. 49 and selected Jarran Reed, who became a long-term productive defensive tackle for the Seahawks. Reed's sustained role made the aggressive move worthwhile and gives Seattle a strong grade rather than treating this as a failed trade-up. The Seahawks received one high-quality contributor, even though Chicago ultimately produced slightly more combined direct value from two selections.
2021 6th round pick (208th overall, Stone Forsythe)
Seattle moved up nine spots in the 2021 sixth round, sending picks 217 and 250 to Chicago for No. 208. The Seahawks selected tackle Stone Forsythe, while the Bears landed running back Khalil Herbert and defensive tackle Khyiris Tonga. Forsythe became a useful starter, but the combined production of Herbert and Tonga gives Chicago the stronger overall return.
Seattle traded edge rusher Darrell Taylor to Chicago on August 23, 2024, for a 2025 sixth-round choice that settled at No. 185 and was later moved again. The Seahawks recovered late-round capital from a player whose role was changing under a new staff. Because Seattle did not turn the pick itself into a major direct return, the value stays modest.
