Seattle Seahawks received
1979 fifth-round pick (#116-Dan Manucci)
Tampa Bay Buccaneers received
Larry Seivers
Seattle sent Larry Seivers to Tampa Bay in August 1977 and received the 1979 fifth-round pick that became No. 116, quarterback Dan Manucci. Seattle's own trade history also records that the club later transferred that choice to Buffalo as voluntary compensation connected to Ahmad Rashad. The fifth-round identification makes Seattle's side of the transaction clear.
Seattle acquired tackle Ron Heller from Tampa Bay in May 1988 for nose tackle Randy Edwards and a 1989 sixth-round pick, No. 154 Derrick Little. Heller never played a regular-season game for Seattle, but the Seahawks flipped him in August to Philadelphia for a 1989 fourth-round pick, No. 103, turning the acquisition into better draft capital.
1997 3rd round pick (63rd overall, Frank Middleton)
Seattle moved from No. 12 to No. 6 in the 1997 draft, sending Tampa Bay the 12th pick and No. 63 for the choice used on Walter Jones. Jones became a Hall of Fame left tackle and started all 180 games of his career. Tampa Bay also did extremely well, landing Warrick Dunn and Frank Middleton, but Seattle secured the best player in the deal.
2013 conditional seventh-round pick (could become a sixth-round pick; trade criteria not met)
Seattle acquired tight end Kellen Winslow from Tampa Bay in May 2012 for a 2013 conditional seventh-round pick that could have become a sixth-rounder. Seattle released Winslow before the regular season, and the Seahawks' own trade history says the conditions were not met, so Tampa Bay ultimately received no exercised selection from the deal.
