Seattle Seahawks Win
Seattle traded DE Darryl Tapp to Philadelphia for DE Chris Clemons and a fourth-round pick, adding a core pass rusher for the Carroll era. Clemons became one of the first major defensive wins of the Pete Carroll-John Schneider rebuild. He recorded double-digit sacks in three straight seasons and gave Seattle a legitimate edge presence before the Legion of Boom fully peaked. Turning Tapp into Clemons plus draft capital makes this one of the sharper early moves of the regime.
