Cowboys trade Everson Griffin for a 6th Round Pick
Dunlap with the seahawks
Seahawks had to do something. Their lack of a pass rush is comical and horrifying. While Dunlap might not be the answer, he certainly can't hurt.
I do not know their cap situation, but imagine Bud Dupree in Carrol's system in Bruce Irvin's old role. He might not wrack up big #'s; but he would create a heck of a lot of havoc.
I'm sure BJ is happy to be facing Cam Heyward or Stephon Tuitt in a game rather than practice twice a year
That trade works for both teams. Cincinnati needs to worry about not getting Burrow killed and Seattle is in desperate need of defensive help
Dunlap was in the doghouse (and starting to create lockerroom strife).
When he got demoted to third string, he posted a picture of their war-room depth-chart whiteboard on Twitstagram with the caption saying something about selling his house in Cincinnati. The relationship didn’t get any better from that point on.

I don't buy that cap $$$ was the driving issue. The only player they had to get rid of due to the cap that I remember was Frank Clark. Unfortunately, he was also the only player they have drafted after 2013 who was worth a second contract.
Once they were NOT drafting guys Carroll had recruited or seen play in college; they were ordinary at drafting. They just failed at restocking the cupboard. Especially on defense.
Wilson being on a cheap contract was super duper helpful in their roster construction. But they couldn't do it again if they still had Wilson on such a cheap contract. They had an advantage for about 3 years in the draft because Carroll knew exactly who was coming out that would fit his system. Now, they know just as much as everyone else. Now, they don't pull All-Pro's in the 5th round on a regular basis. Odd.
Another unhappy Bengals players.....
Big drama in Atlanta....
