Seahawks Acquire Trevis Gipson from Jaguars

The Seattle Seahawks have traded a late-round draft pick to the Jacksonville Jaguars for outside linebacker Trevis Gipson, bolstering their edge depth after a knee injury to starter Uchenna Nwosu during a preseason game against the Cleveland Browns. The specifics of the draft pick remain undisclosed and may be conditional based on Gipson's playing time. Gipson, a fifth-year NFL veteran, has previously played for the Chicago Bears and the Tennessee Titans, accumulating 10 sacks and 21 quarterback hits over his career. This trade follows Seattle's recent deal sending linebacker Darrell Taylor to the Bears for a 2025 sixth-round pick. Head coach Mike Macdonald has not provided an update on Nwosu's injury, but the acquisition of Gipson indicates Nwosu might miss significant time. Gipson's addition aims to strengthen the Seahawks' defensive line, which has also been weakened by Dre’Mont Jones' hamstring issues.
