This again is to the Cleveland Browns, even after the Moffitt-Sanford blunder.
Cleveland recently lost their 2 back-up RBs behind Trent Richardson. Leaving a 7th year, Brandon Jackson as their next option.
With electric play-making ability of Christine Michael and the versatile, physical, swing back Spencer Ware the Seahawks are in a great position to trade well-rounded and above average backup Robert Turbin.
Seahawks trade RB Robert Turbin (4th round pick, strong, dependable all-around backup to TR), LB Heath Farwell (veteran presence/special teams, can play inside in their 3/4), CB Byron Maxwell (5th round pick, could earn job opposite Haden), plus Winston Guy (6th round pick, big physical safety depth for a physical division).
Cleveland Browns give us 3rd Round pick (I would possibly be willing to accept maybe a 4th rounder and conditional late round pick) and possibly TE Kellen Davis, if he's in adequate condition, he's 6'7, 272 pounds, so he's seems like a run blocker and has put up McCoy like production in 2011 and 2012 accumulating 37 catches, 435 yards, and 7 TDs while starting 30 games for the Chicago Bears. Davis is 29, and set to make $715,000 USD in 2013 on a 1 year deal. Seahawks would also seemingly gain about $1.5 million USD in cap relief in such a trade.
With this trade Seahawks can easily keep 4 RBs
RB: Lynch, Michael, Ware
FB: Robinson
They can keep Coleman around until Robinson is healthy to start the season.
Seahawks can keep 5 CBs: Sherman, Browner, Winfield, Thurmond, Lane and if they feel bad about their depth they also have Ron Parker and Deshawn Shead who are both very solid players and both are versatile enough to play multiple positions among the defensive backfield which you can't say about any of the other CBs. (Note: I was torn between trading Lane or Maxwell in my scenario but ultimately decided even though Lane has been less stellar in this Pre-Season, he has the potential to become a quality returner and has proved he's capable of starting, plus he's already one of the elite gunners in the NFL. Maxwell is good but he's not as versatile as Lane, and also Maxwell with his excellent play in practice and games looks to be the more tradable player in value).
This scenario would allow the Seahawks to easily carry an extra WR or DL without having to really take away from another position.
If Kellen Davis makes the team, the Seahawks can role with Zach Miller, Davis, and Luke Willson as the options with one of Helfet, McGrath or Fells making the Practice Squad depending who's available but its slightly cool that those 3 options equate to be an athletic WR type of TE, a well-rounded type of TE, and a big, blocking type of TE.
Browns win because they get strong, valuable team depth in a strong division with all being able to start if needed. Seahawks win because they recoup the 3rd rounder lost in the Harvin trade, possibly get a more adequate and experienced 2nd TE behind Miller, and a little cap relief.
I would like to also see the Seahawks flip Quinn to the Ravens for a 7th round pick. They got no depth behind Flacco, at least Quinn has experience, is relatively cheap for a backup QB, and has to be a better option than Caleb Hanie, Tyrod Taylor, or Dayne Crist.
