Seahawks Trade for Defensive Tackle Roy Robertson-Harris

The Seattle Seahawks have traded for defensive lineman Roy Robertson-Harris from the Jacksonville Jaguars in exchange for a sixth-round draft pick in 2026. At 31 years old, Robertson-Harris is expected to bolster a Seahawks defense struggling against the run, currently ranked 28th in the league for rushing yards allowed per game. He brings significant experience, having played in all six games this season and recorded two sacks, while also providing positional flexibility along the defensive line. The trade comes as the Seahawks deal with injuries on defense, including cornerback Artie Burns and linebacker Uchenna Nwosu being placed on injured reserve. Coach Mike Macdonald expressed optimism about Robertson-Harris's potential impact, citing his toughness and energy on the field. Robertson-Harris, who has a three-year, $21.6 million contract, is looking forward to contributing to a playoff push in the NFC West.
