The Chicago Bears traded DJ Moore and a fifth-round pick to the Buffalo Bills<\/a> in exchange for a second-round pick in the 2026 NFL Draft. Rumors suggest the Seattle Seahawks<\/a> were another team in the mix for Moore, but now that he’s off to Buffalo, it sounds like Seattle may be pivoting to a different player via trade.<\/p>\n

During a guest appearance on 104.3 The Score, a radio show based in Chicago, James Palmer of The Athletic named the Seahawks as one of the rumored teams<\/a> to have been trying to trade for the soon-to-be 29-year-old wideout. Ultimately, the Bills were willing to give up more for DJ Moore and got the deal done.<\/p>\n

\u201cI think there were definitely some other teams,\u201d said Palmer about the trade interest for Moore. \u201cI think Seattle might have been in the running to some extent.\u201d<\/p>\n

.@JamesPalmerTV<\/a> called it “impressive” that Ryan Poles and the Bears got a 2nd-round pick in their trade of DJ Moore to the Bills.<\/p>\n

With Moore heading to Buffalo, rumors suggest the Seahawks are now one of several teams possibly interested<\/a> in trading for Minnesota Vikings<\/a> linebacker Jonathan Greenard, per Corbin K. Smith of the Emerald City Spectrum. Seattle may have some stiff competition in trade talks, and Smith believes Minnesota could demand a second-round pick at least.<\/p>\n

\u201cVikings pass rusher Jonathan Greenard\u2026 I’m told by a reporter with inside knowledge of the team that Minnesota has received inquiries from \u2018half the league,’ including Seahawks. He’s going to be in demand, but sounds like a second-rounder and Day 3 pick is sweet spot.\u201d<\/p>\n

Seattle is likely to address the wide receiver room this offseason, as Rashid Shaheed is heading to free agency. While Jaxon Smith-Njigba and Cooper Kupp lead the way, the club is seemingly searching for a strong third option at the position.<\/p>\n

Linebacker is another area to pay attention to, as the club is expected to lose Boye Mafe. The good news is that the Seahawks’ front office signed Drake Thomas<\/a> to a two-year, $8 million extension that can reach up to $9 million with incentives.<\/p>\n
