Darrell Taylor trade puts a wrap on the 2020 Seahawks draft class

Just days out from cutdown day, the Seattle Seahawks moved on from pass rusher Darrell Taylor, who was traded to the Chicago Bears for a 2025 sixth-round pick. Taylor was always battling for a roster spot heading into this season, but the emergence of Derick Hall and the switch to edge rusher for Dre’Mont Jones put Taylor very much on the outside looking in.

The symbolic significance of the trade pertains to the 2020 NFL Draft. Taylor was Seattle’s second-rounder from “the COVID draft”, and he was the last remaining member from that class to remain with the Seahawks heading into the 2024 preseason.
