New England Patriots Win

Seattle acquired Horace Ivory from New England Patriots on 1981-09-25, sending 1982 third round pick (#60-Clayton Weishuhn) 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 — Horace Ivory for 1982 third round pick (#60-Clayton Weishuhn) — rather than a forced storyline. That makes the row useful for database completeness while keeping it below the major-trade tier.
