ESPN Insider Adam Schefter is reporting that the Seahawks have traded former second-round pick (55th overall in 2007) Josh Wilson to the Baltimore Ravens in exchange for a conditional fifth-round pick.

For some of them, this might mean being cut altogether. For others, it [...]

Surprised? Well, you shouldn’t be. The emergence of Red Bryant, the draft selection and strong camp of E.J. Wilson, as well as the [...]
