Report: Seahawks Trade G John Moffit To The Broncos

Update:

Jay Glazer of Fox Sports reports that the Seahawks have now traded G John Moffitt to the Broncos instead.

• The Seahawks will receive DT Sealver Siliga in return for Moffit.

Jason La Canfora of CBS Sports reports that the Seahawks have traded G John Moffitt to the Browns in return for DE Brian Sanford.

• La Canfora adds that the recently injury to Browns G Jason Pinkston led to this transaction.
• Seattle adds some more help at defensive end with Chris Clemons still coming back from a knee injury and 2012 first-round pick Bruce Irvin facing a suspension.

Moffit, 26, was a third-round pick of the Seahawks back in 2011, but has yet to develop into a starting-caliber interior offensive lineman. According to Pro Football Focus, Moffit has graded out as a below-average guard in each of his first two seasons in the NFL and has really struggled in the run-blocking department.

It will be interesting to see if he’s capable making a difference for the Browns this season.
