Even Trade

Seattle acquired 1980 tenth round pick (#274-Billy Rivers); 1981 seventh round pick (#186-Brad Scoville) from Tennessee Titans / Houston Oilers on 1980-04-30, sending Sammy Green in return. The trade is best understood as a narrow roster or draft-position move. Seattle acquired 1980 tenth round pick (#274-Billy Rivers); 1981 seventh round pick (#186-Brad Scoville) and gave up Sammy Green, 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.
