Seattle acquired veteran offensive lineman Stacy Andrews from Philadelphia in September 2010 for a conditional 2011 draft choice that resolved as the 227th overall selection. The Seahawks obtained immediate line experience for seventh-round capital. Andrews’ Seattle stay was not long, but usable veteran snaps at such a small draft cost gave Seattle the better realized side of the transaction.

Trade Analysis
The Exchange
Philadelphia traded veteran offensive lineman Stacy Andrews to Seattle in September 2010 for a conditional 2011 draft selection. Team and league reporting identify the consideration as a future pick, and Seattle’s transaction history resolves it as the 227th overall choice in the seventh round. That package matters because the older record’s extra reference to a 2010 seventh-rounder is not part of the supported transaction.
Seattle’s Return
Seattle received an experienced offensive lineman at a very low acquisition cost. Andrews was not a long-term solution, but the Seahawks were able to put a veteran with substantial starting experience into their line mix without surrendering a meaningful draft asset. For a seventh-round price, even one season of usable depth and starts can represent a reasonable return, particularly during a broader roster transition.
Philadelphia’s Return
The Eagles’ primary benefit was moving on from a disappointing investment and recovering at least some draft capital. Andrews had arrived in Philadelphia with significant expectations, and the fit never produced the desired value. A seventh-round selection was a modest salvage return rather than a major asset. Still, freeing the roster and contract from a player no longer central to the plan had practical value.
Value in Hindsight
This is a small Seattle win rather than a dramatic one. Philadelphia had sensible reasons to make the trade and did receive a real selection. The Seahawks, however, acquired a veteran lineman for one of the lowest-cost picks available, while the Eagles’ draft return carried little expected value. The gap is based on relative efficiency, not on either side uncovering a franchise-changing player.
Final Verdict
Seattle Seahawks Win. Seattle earns a B- for buying immediate offensive-line experience with seventh-round capital. Philadelphia receives a C because it successfully exited a poor fit and recovered a pick, but the return was minimal. The Seahawks extracted slightly more usable football value from the exchange, provided the package is limited to the supported 2011 seventh-round selection.
