The Seahawks have acquired 28-year old DT Cory Redding and a reported 5th round pick from the Lions for 30-year old linebacker Julian Peterson.  Redding played in 13 games for the Lions last season and he made 38 tackles and had 3 sacks.  Redding has now played in 86 games in his NFL career and he has made 201 tackles, defensed 6 passes, has 16 sacks and he has forced 4 fumbles.  The Seahawks needed help at DT but the cost here was very high.

Julian Peterson will be hard to replace for the Seahawks.  He played in all 16 games for them last season and he made 86 tackles, defensed 5 passes, had 5 sacks and he forced 4 fumbles.
