NFL Trade Verdict

Seattle Seahawks Win

Seattle acquired Theotis Brown from Arizona Cardinals on 1981-10-13, sending 1982 fourth round pick (#90-James Robbins / Tootie Robbins); 1983 fourth round pick (#96-Mark Duda) in return. Seattle's side of this 1981 draft-capital exchange was straightforward: the Seahawks received Theotis Brown and surrendered 1982 fourth round pick (#90-James Robbins / Tootie Robbins); 1983 fourth round pick (#96-Mark Duda). The B grade reflects the known return, while Arizona Cardinals's C grade accounts for the countervalue. The trade belongs as a standard database entry because its documented impact was real but not franchise-shaping.
