Seahawks reportedly consider trading Jarran Reed
5 sourcesUpdated Oct 31, 20261 min read
The Seahawks are reportedly weighing a trade of veteran defensive tackle Jarran Reed before the NFL deadline, with other teams said to have shown interest and a Day 3 draft pick viewed as a possible return. Seattle’s acquisition of guard Quenton Nelson has increased the team’s need to manage its draft capital and salary cap, and moving Reed could also create room for other roster moves. At 33, Reed remains an experienced defensive leader, but his contract and age may factor into Seattle’s decision; reports also note that a trade could open opportunities for other defensive linemen. No deal has been confirmed, and the Seahawks could still keep him as they pursue a playoff push.

What each side asserts, disputes — or leaves out entirely.
Whose framing of this story rings truest to you?
Trading him now feels shortsighted if the asking price is only a late pick. Better to let him play out the year and save the roster spot.
I'd keep Reed around instead. He's reliable against the run and losing him leaves the interior even thinner without a clear replacement.
Seahawks should take a day three pick for Reed and move on. At 33 he's past his peak and the cap relief helps after Nelson.
