The Seattle Seahawks are finally looking like Mike Macdonald’s team. Macdonald added several players that match what he wants to do in Seattle during his second offseason as head coach. The Seahawks made some exciting trades this offseason, including sending QB Geno Smith to the Raiders.
Seattle used the extra draft picks gained in those trades during the 2025 NFL Draft. The Seahawks added plenty of talented rookies, headlined by G Grey Zabel and safety Nick Emmanwori.
There’s no arguing that Seattle make some huge leaps forward this offseason. However, the task of building an NFL roster is never truly done.
The Seahawks should consider making a few trades to complete the roster before training camp.
But who might they trade for?
Below we will explore three of the best players the Seahawks should consider trading for before the 2025 NFL season.
Seattle is completely rebuilding its wide receiver room this offseason.
Mike Macdonald cleared house this offseason, parting ways with a pair of players who Seahawks fans will miss dearly. The Seahawks traded WR DK Metcalf to the Steelers and made the tough decision to release Tyler Lockett.
But it is not all bad news.
Seattle brought in veteran WR Cooper Kupp during free agency, as well as Marquez Valdes-Scantling. They also drafted both Tory Horton and Ricky White III. They join Jaxson Smith-Njigba and Jake Bobo on the depth chart.
All of that said, the Seahawks could still use some help at the position in 2025.
Kupp, MVS, Smith-Njigba, and Bobo are all solid options, but I believe Seattle could use a fifth wide receiver who already has some NFL experience.
Commanders WR Noah Brown could fit that role perfectly.
Brown has been a reliable wide receiver for several years in the NFL. His breakout season came in 2022 with the Cowboys, where he hauled in 43 receptions for 555 yards and three touchdowns. He has been a reliable contributor ever since.
Brown spent one season in Houston before heading to Washington in 2024.
Brown is in the final year of his current contract with a cap hit of $3 million in 2025. That is an easy salary to add to Seattle’s books.
The toughest part of trading for Brown is prying him away from the Commanders.
Brown currently projects as the team’s WR3 behind Terry McLaurin and Deebo Samuel. They do have a healthy mix of reserve players who could replace Brown. Luke McCaffrey and Jaylin Lane are the young options and Michael Gallup and K.J. Osborn bring veteran experience.
It is possible that Washington could part ways with Brown.
The question would ultimately become would Seattle be willing to pay what’s needed to acquire Noah Brown?
The Seahawks could still use some additional depth on the interior of the defensive line.
