NFL Trade Verdict

Even Trade

Seattle acquired 1999 6th round pick (170th overall, Steve Johnson) from Cleveland Browns on 1999-04-18, sending 1999 6th round pick (187th overall, Kendall Ogle); 1999 6th round pick (191st overall, James Dearth) in return. From a hindsight view, the Seahawks neither created a defining win nor suffered a major loss here. The important public-facing detail is the actual exchange — 1999 6th round pick (170th overall, Steve Johnson) for 1999 6th round pick (187th overall, Kendall Ogle); 1999 6th round pick (191st overall, James Dearth) — rather than a forced storyline. That makes the row useful for database completeness while keeping it below the major-trade tier.
