The New York Giants have traded defensive lineman Leonard Williams to the Seattle Seahawks in exchange for picks in the 2021 and 2022 drafts. This marks the first major trade in the 2020 season and is the first major move by new Giants general manager Dave Gettleman. The move will give the Seahawks a dynamic defensive lineman that can bolster their run defense. On the other hand, the Giants receive a compensation haul that could be used to turn around their long-struggling franchise.
The Seahawks kicked off their season with a dominant performance against the Giants on Sunday night. Led by QB Russell Wilson’s 4 touchdown passes, as well as big contributions from the defense and running game, Seattle defeated New York 35-17. Overall, Bob Condotta gave the Seahawks a B+ rating for their strong start to the season. The performance indicates that the Seahawks are a team to be reckoned with this year and have set the tone for a successful season.
Seattle Seahawks Linebacker Nick Bellore is inactive for the team’s Week 4 matchup against the New York Giants due to an ankle injury. While Bellore will miss the game, all five of the Seahawks’ players challenged with injuries are probable for Sunday’s game. With this news, the team is looking to get off to a strong start and come out with a big victory.
Jalen Hurts and Philadelphia Eagles center Jason Kelce reportedly played through illness during the team’s Wild Card loss to the Seattle Seahawks. Other players like Avonte Maddox and Nate Gerry also persevered through sickness amidst a highly unusual 2020 NFL season. Despite playing with a limited roster and diminished health, the Eagles and their undeterred players made an admirable effort to put up a good fight.
The Indianapolis Colts could trade running back Jonathan Taylor to the Seattle Seahawks for quarterback Russell Wilson. Both teams could benefit from this arrangement as Wilson could fill the role of the missing veteran QB in Indianapolis while Taylor provides the Seahawks with a strong running back threat. This would also help both teams stay competitive in their respective divisions.
