Trade Analysis
The Exchange
Seattle's official all-time trade history identifies the return for Bryce Fisher as Tennessee's 2008 sixth-round pick, which became No. 189. That corrects the legacy record, which incorrectly labeled the compensation as a 2007 fifth-round pick. NFL transaction records independently confirm the September 11, 2007 Seattle-to-Tennessee trade.
Tennessee Return
Fisher appeared in nine regular-season games for Tennessee in 2007. Pro Football Reference and NFL statistics credit him with no starts or sacks, but he recorded five tackles and one pass breakup while serving as defensive-line depth for a Titans team that reached the playoffs. It was the final season of his NFL career.
Seattle Return
The Seahawks used No. 189 in the 2008 draft on San Diego State long snapper Tyler Schmitt. Pro Football Reference lists Schmitt as the selection but credits him with no NFL regular-season appearances. Seattle therefore received no realized game value from the pick.
Final Verdict
Houston Oilers/Tennessee Titans Win, C+ to D+. Fisher provided nine games of usable veteran depth, while Seattle's sixth-round return produced no NFL regular-season appearance. The value is modest on both sides, but Tennessee received the only realized on-field contribution.
