In a shocking move, the Seattle Seahawks have agreed to trade legendary defensive tackle Cortez Kennedy to the Philadelphia Eagles in exchange for draft picks and financial compensation. Kennedy, a cornerstone of the Seahawks’ defense for over a decade, has been one of the most consistent performers in the league, known for his dominance on the defensive line and his leadership both on and off the field.
The trade, which includes Kennedy signing a 5-year contract extension with the Eagles, is aimed at strengthening Philadelphia’s defensive front. In return, Seattle will receive a package of multiple draft picks, including a first-round selection in the upcoming NFL Draft.
Kennedy, an eight-time Pro Bowler and former NFL Defensive Player of the Year, expressed his gratitude to the Seahawks organization and their fans for their support throughout his career. “Seattle will always be home, but I’m excited for this new challenge in Philadelphia. I’m looking forward to helping the Eagles compete for a championship,” Kennedy said in a statement.
The move signals a new direction for both franchises, as Seattle looks to rebuild its roster for the future, while the Eagles make a bold push to strengthen their already formidable defense in hopes of contending for a Super Bowl.
