NFL Trade Verdict

Even Trade

Seattle acquired Shalom Luani from Las Vegas Raiders on 2018-09-01, sending 2019 7th round pick (235th overall subsequently traded, Dontavius Russell) 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 — Shalom Luani for 2019 7th round pick (235th overall subsequently traded, Dontavius Russell) — rather than a forced storyline. That makes the row useful for database completeness while keeping it below the major-trade tier.
