Seahawks Trade for Trevis Gipson from Jaguars

The Seattle Seahawks traded for defensive end Trevis Gipson from the Jacksonville Jaguars following a preseason knee injury to their edge rusher Uchenna Nwosu. The move was seen as beneficial for both teams, with Jaguars head coach Doug Pederson expressing that it provides Gipson an opportunity for more playing time and a sixth-round pick in 2025 for Jacksonville. Despite originally being expected to contribute as a backup, Gipson's competition from younger players like D.J. Coleman and Myles Cole led to the decision to trade him. Gipson, who has 11 sacks in his four-year career, expressed excitement about the new opportunity with the Seahawks. The trade reflects the Jaguars' confidence in their developing edge rushers while addressing the Seahawks' immediate needs for depth after recent trades and injuries. Pederson emphasized that good players become available when other teams have needs, making the trade a strategic win-win for both sides.
