NFL Trade Verdict

Seattle Seahawks Win

Seattle acquired veteran quarterback Bill Munson from Detroit for the 1977 fifth-round pick later used on Ron Crosby. Munson appeared in five games as Seattle's backup, while Crosby never played for Detroit. Seattle received the only direct team value, although the return remained modest.

Trade Analysis

Munson supplied limited backup quarterback value for Seattle. Because Detroit did not receive on-field value from Crosby, the Seahawks earn a narrow win rather than an Even Trade.
