After landing edge rusher Jadeveon Clowney from Houston earlier, the Seahawks turned their attention to the secondary here. Nickerson is merely a depth move, though. He has a chance to stick mostly because of a lack of depth at cornerback for Seattle.

Nickerson was not going to make the cut for the Jets this year, especially after the team acquired Nate Hairston from Indianapolis in an earlier swap. Therefore, they decided to trade Nickerson to Seattle for a conditional last-rounder in the '21 draft.

There is no impact at all here, as Nickerson will be hard-pressed to maintain a spot on the Seahawks' 53-man roster for all of 2019.
