Seahawks & Eagles Trade Defensive Lineman

The Seahawks and Eagles partook in a trade as they both swapped defensive lineman. The Eagles gave away defensive end Chris Clemons for Seattle’s Darryl Tapp. Both players have had their share of success in the NFL and the Eagles are hoping Tapp will fit into their defensive system better than Clemons.

Used as a rotational pass rusher, the Eagles are hopefully they can get the 25 year old Tapp back to perform the way he did in 2007 when he totaled 49 tackles and seven sacks.

The Eagles also had to part ways with a fourth round pick to get Tapp, but if he works out, he should be worth it for the extra disruption he brings to opponents’ offenses.

As for the Seahawks they get a lineman in Clemons that can also play some linebacker as well. Tapp had struggled for the past few seasons.

In the end, this move will probably benefit the Eagles the most as they have been running their defensive scheme for many years, and they know what types of players fit well in it. Not only that but as Tapp has struggled for the past two seasons he’s been on a very bad defensive unit.

Now, he will be back on a rock solid defense that should only get better with linebacker Stewart Bradley returning from his acl injury last summer.
