NFL Trade Verdict

Seattle Seahawks Win

Seattle acquired Jon Borchardt from Buffalo Bills on 1985-04-26, sending 1986 seventh round pick (#180-Butch Rolle) in return. This transaction fits Seattle's broader roster-building record for 1985: targeted asset movement, limited known aftershocks, and no obvious franchise-altering result. The Seahawks' B grade is tied to receiving Jon Borchardt while parting with 1986 seventh round pick (#180-Butch Rolle). Buffalo Bills's side is graded C because the exchange appears roughly balanced from the available record.
