Washington Commanders Redskins
Trade grades, verdicts, asset movement, and historical context for Washington Commanders Redskins trades.
Recent Trades
Seattle traded a multi-pick package to Washington to move up for WR/returner Tyler Lockett at #69 overall. Lockett became one of the most efficient and reliable offensive players in franchise history: a dangerous returner early, then a precise deep threat and trusted Russell Wilson/Geno Smith target. The price looked aggressive for a third-round receiver, but Seattle landed a decade-long playmaker with Pro Bowl return value and major locker-room credibility. This is a clear A+ outcome.
Seattle acquired Tim Morrison from Washington Commanders / Redskins on 1988-05-23, sending conditional twelfth round pick (?-?) in return. This transaction fits Seattle's broader roster-building record for 1988: targeted asset movement, limited known aftershocks, and no obvious franchise-altering result. The Seahawks' B grade is tied to receiving Tim Morrison while parting with conditional twelfth round pick (?-?). Washington Commanders / Redskins's side is graded C because the exchange appears roughly balanced from the available record.
Seattle acquired 1979 seventh round pick (#169-Larry Polowski); 1980 fifth round pick (#132-Daniel Jacobs) from Washington Commanders / Redskins on 1979-03-30, sending Don Testerman; 1979 seventh round pick (#182-Rich Milot) in return. The trade is best understood as a narrow roster or draft-position move. Seattle acquired 1979 seventh round pick (#169-Larry Polowski); 1980 fifth round pick (#132-Daniel Jacobs) and gave up Don Testerman; 1979 seventh round pick (#182-Rich Milot), with the available evidence supporting a C grade rather than a stronger verdict. It should remain in the public database, but the analysis should not pretend it changed the arc of Seahawks history.
