The Seattle Seahawks are trading wide receiver Jermaine Kearse to the New York Jets for defensive lineman Sheldon Richardson, a source told ESPN's Adam Schefter on Friday.
Kearse has been a starter for the Seahawks since 2014 but is coming off a down season in which he caught 41 passes for 510 yards and one touchdown. He was briefly supplanted as Seattle's No. 2 receiver behind Doug Baldwin, but he reclaimed that role when Tyler Lockett suffered a season-ending leg injury in December.
Richardson has spent his entire four-year career with the Jets.
