Indianapolis Colts received

  • Fredd Young

Seattle Seahawks received

  • 1989 first round pick (#15-Andy Heck)
  • 1990 first round pick (later used in trade-up for Cortez Kennedy)

Seattle traded linebacker Fredd Young to Indianapolis for first-round selections in both 1989 and 1990. The 1989 pick became tackle Andy Heck, while the 1990 first-rounder later became part of Seattle's trade-up for Cortez Kennedy rather than a direct Ray Agnew selection. Turning one veteran into two premium assets created enormous flexibility and helped shape the Seahawks for years.

Indianapolis Colts received

  • Brock Huard

Seattle Seahawks received

  • 2002 5th round pick (146th overall, Rocky Bernard)

Seattle sent quarterback Brock Huard to Indianapolis in 2002 and received the 146th pick, which became defensive tackle Rocky Bernard. Bernard developed into a long-term Seahawks contributor and eventually finished his career with 33 sacks across 160 games. Huard saw almost no action for Indianapolis, appearing in only two games in 2003 and attempting three passes. Seattle transformed a spare quarterback into years of defensive-line value.

Indianapolis Colts received

  • 2015 6th round pick (207th overall, Amarlo Herrera)

Seattle Seahawks received

  • Marcus Burley

Seattle sent Indianapolis a 2015 sixth-round pick for cornerback Marcus Burley and received two seasons of useful secondary depth. Burley appeared in 26 regular-season games for the Seahawks and intercepted two passes. The Colts ultimately used the acquired selection at No. 207 on linebacker Amarlo Herrera, who appeared in only three NFL games. Seattle extracted the clearer on-field value from the modest exchange.

Indianapolis Colts received

  • Marcus Johnson

Seattle Seahawks received

  • Darrell Daniels

Indianapolis acquired wide receiver Marcus Johnson from Seattle in exchange for tight end Darrell Daniels at the 2018 roster deadline. Johnson grew into useful receiver depth for the Colts, including 277 receiving yards and two touchdowns in 2019 and another 255 yards in 2020. Daniels gave Seattle only a brief role before moving on, so Indianapolis realized the stronger return.
