Seahawks trade number 2: WR David Moore to the Packers

The Seahawks have a strong rapport with the Packers back office team. This is crucial when making trades. David Moore is entering a similar off-season to Jacob Hollister. Moore was also retained using the restricted free agent tag. However, his price tag came in slightly south of Hollister’s at $2.13 for the 2020 season.

With the Seahawks top 2 wide receivers already locked in between Tyler Lockett and DK Metcalf, this is a hefty price to pay. This is especially true when considering Philip Dorsett could very well be the wide receiver number 3. Not to mention, if Josh Gordon does indeed get reinstated, Moore will become a very expensive bench warmer/ special teams guy.

This is not intended to be a dig against David Moore. I really like the guy and his playing style. As I am sure other teams do as well. Moore is a glue guy. He does all the small things to help the team be successful.

He is a very good blocking wide receiver. He has strong hands and a physical style of play. His motto is ‘always make the first man miss.’ He succeeds with this quiet often making him a true run after the catch threat.

Seattle simply has too much depth at the position to keep Moore around if he isn’t WR3. This is especially true with youngsters Freddie Swain and Cody Thompson impressing early in camp. Seattle would be wise to see what they could get in a trade.

My proposed trade:

Why this trade makes sense for the Packers:

The Packers entered the off-season with the most pressing need being the wide receiver. Yet, they didn’t tap into an immensely talented wide receiver draft class. They also did very little to remedy this in free agency. The one receiver they brought in (Devin Funchess) decided to opt-out of the 2020 season.

They desperately need help at the wide receiver position. David Moore is exactly the type of buy low asset that the team could benefit from. They don’t need another star (although it certainly wouldn’t hurt); they just need some consistent production and someone who won’t drop passes.

David Moore could be exactly the type of guy they are looking for. He is only 25 and has his best years ahead of him.
