  • pick 2018 2nd round pick (49th overall subsequently traded, Dallas Goedert )
  • pick 2018 7th round pick (235th overall subsequently traded, Zaire Franklin )

Seattle Seahawks Received

  • player Sheldon Richardson
  • pick 2018 7th round pick (226th overall subsequently traded, David Williams)

Trade Analysis

New York holds the edge because the Kearse-plus-picks return carried more lasting value than Seattle's short-term Sheldon Richardson move.
