NFL Trade Idea: Seattle Seahawks Make Move for Tampa Bay Buccaneers LB Devin White?
The Seattle Seahawks could look to add another piece or two to the puzzle before Tuesday's 1 p.m. PT trade deadline.
Sometimes a trade made in the middle of the season could be the difference between a Super Bowl ring and a spot on the couch in the postseason. Two years ago, the Seahawks' NFC West rival Los Angeles Rams traded for Von Miller in the middle of the season and won a Super Bowl four months later.
Perhaps that big linebacker trade, which Bleacher Report suggests, has the Seahawks could make is dealing for Tampa Bay Buccaneers linebacker Devin White.

"Adding another versatile piece to that unit could help give Seattle a championship-caliber defense. The Seahawks should try to see if the Tampa Bay Buccaneers are willing to move off of do-it-all linebacker Devin White, who will be a free agent in the spring," Bleacher Report writes.
"White is a tremendous coverage linebacker who can chase down ball-carriers and pressure the quarterback. He'd be a terrific addition to a linebacker rotation that already includes Bobby Wagner and Jordyn Brooks."
It might be difficult to pay White after the season ends, especially as he looks for his first big NFL payday, but he could be a valuable addition in the stretch run if he doesn't cost too much for the Seahawks.
The Seahawks could also look for some offensive line help to protect Geno Smith, but the fact of the matter is, Seattle needs to do something if it wants to keep up with the top NFC juggernauts like the Philadelphia Eagles and San Francisco 49ers.
