The Seattle Seahawks have traded for Cincinnati Bengals defensive end
Carlos Dunlap, according to ESPN's Adam Schefter. The move will become official after 1 p.m. PT.
The trade provides the Seahawks with some pass-rushing help. While Dunlap is unlikely to be ready to play on Sunday against the San Francisco 49ers, it is a move that could impact the remainder of the season. Seattle currently leads the NFC West with a 5-1 record, and every team in the division is above .500.
The Bengals made Dunlap a second-round draft pick out of Florida in 2010. The two-time Pro Bowl selection is in his 11th NFL season and racked up nine quarterback sacks last season to go along with his 63 tackles, 21 quarterback hits, eight passes defensed, and two forced fumbles.
Dunlap has recorded eight-or-more sacks in five of his past six seasons and had a career-high 13.5 in 2015. He has one sack through seven games and four starts this season. The defender's last start came in Week 4, and his snap count has fallen since, ending with a 12-snap performance on Sunday against the Cleveland Browns.

Three Key Defensive Free Agents to Make the 49ers Better in 2024
Although the defense finished as one of the top defenses in 2023 under Steve Wilks, the San Francisco 49ers struggled in a few areas, like stopping the run, finishing the pass rush with sacks, and surrendering explosive plays. In this editorial, we will look to find three defensive players to keep the 49ers defense among the elite.
The 49ers have 22 players scheduled to become free agents, 12 being defensive players. The team must address the edge, interior, and cornerback positions. Improving these three areas will keep the 49ers on top.
Three defensive ends—Chase Young, Randy Gregory, and Clelin Ferrell—are set to become free agents. Per Pro Football Focus (PFF), the trio totaled 74 pressures (11 sacks, 17 hits, and 46 hurries). If the 49ers want to
Nick Bosa's mother pleaded for Chargers to trade Joey Bosa to 49ers
The San Francisco 49ers probably won't make another big move at defensive end after agreeing to terms with Leonard Floyd and Yetur Gross-Matos on two-year deals. However, before news of the signings broke, the Bosa family seemed to be hoping for brothers Nick and Joey to become teammates in Santa Clara.
The brothers' mother, Cheryl Bosa, responded to an Instagram post speculating about the Los Angeles Chargers trading Joey Bosa to the 49ers. This would unite him with Nick Bosa and create a formidable family duo on the team's defensive line.
