Seahawks consider trade for Myles Garrett but hold onto Byron Murphy II

The Seattle Seahawks faced the potential of losing ground to the Los Angeles Rams following the Rams' trade for star pass rusher Myles Garrett from the Cleveland Browns on June 2, 2026. While speculation arose about possible trade scenarios involving Seahawks' defensive tackle Byron Murphy II, experts indicate the Seahawks were unlikely to finalize such a deal. Instead, maintaining Murphy, who had a breakout season in 2025 with seven sacks, may aid the Seahawks in future seasons, especially with young players like Jaxon Smith-Njigba and Devon Witherspoon emerging as key contributors.
