Seattle Seahawks Win
Seattle acquired DE Carlos Dunlap from Cincinnati for B.J. Finney and a seventh-round pick, immediately boosting the pass rush. Dunlap arrived during a season when Seattle desperately needed edge pressure and gave the defense a credible closer. The cost was minimal, and his production helped stabilize a unit that had been leaning too heavily on coverage and blitz volume. This is a clean A-grade in-season veteran acquisition: narrow need, low cost, immediate return.
