Jets, Seahawks Reportedly Make Surprise Trade, Full Details Revealed in New NFL Rumors amid OTAs
Bleacher Report • • sports
Key Points:
- The Seattle Seahawks acquired wide receiver and special teamer Irvin Charles from the New York Jets in exchange for a conditional seventh-round draft pick.
- Charles, 29, went undrafted in 2022 and spent four seasons with the Jets, primarily contributing on special teams with 14 tackles and a blocked punt over 2023 and 2024.
- Despite limited offensive snaps and no receptions in two seasons, Charles played 450 special teams snaps and is recovering from a torn ACL sustained in Week 14 of the 2024 season.
- Charles joins a Seahawks team with a strong wide receiver group, including Jaxon Smith-Njigba and Cooper Kupp, so his primary role is expected to be on special teams rather than offense.
- The trade moves Charles from a Jets team with a 3-14 record to a Super Bowl-winning Seahawks squad, offering him a fresh opportunity to contribute.
