The Seahawks have struggled in the first half of this season, but with Russell Wilson returning after the bye week, the Seahawks could make some trades to bolster the roster for the second half of the season.

Currently, the Seahawks biggest issues have been on the defensive side of the ball, with the team struggling to generate a pass rush and questions about consistency in the secondary. The Seahawks are still looking for answers and the best way to address their problems would be to pull off trades at the deadline to solve these issues.

They surprisingly have lots of cap space available to go out make moves at the deadline as they have over $12.3 million in cap space for the rest of this season. Defensive line, cornerback, and running back are their biggest holes to fill, and there are loads of bad teams with players who could help improve the Seahawks at those positions.

3 trades Seahawks should make to add talent to 2021 roster

With struggling teams desiring to dump salaries, the Seahawks could make some steals at the trade deadline which could change the direction of this team going forward. Seattle’s lack of draft capital was an impediment for the team they could not overcome prior to this season with the team’s trading players before the beginning of this season.

At the trade deadline, those issues may persist, but the Seahawks chances are better to make a deal now, with teams knowing their season is likely over. Here are three moves the Seahawks could make to solve some of the issues facing the team and help improve the roster.
