John Gilbert is the Field Gulls Deputy Editor and has covered the NFL's Seattle Seahawks since 2016. He specializes in the salary cap, the collective bargaining agreement and statistical analysis, with an occasional film breakdown sprinkled in.
Six years ago this spring, the Seattle Seahawks traded Frank Clark to the Kansas City Chiefs for a pair of draft picks after Demarcus Lawrence had reset the edge rusher market higher than Seattle was willing to go.
John Schneider and Pete Carroll then turned around and use those picks to add L.J. Collier in the 2019 NFL Draft and Damien Lewis in 2020, both of whom have long since departed after their rookie contracts expired.
