Seahawks announce Sims trade

Sorry folks, a little late with this, I was out at Sounders practice this afternoon. Anyway, the Seahawks confirmed that they have traded Rob Sims and seventh-round draft pick (213th overall) to Detroit for defensive end Robert Henderson and a fifth-round pick (133rd overall).

Here’s the release from the team:

Renton, Wash. – The Seattle Seahawks have traded guard Rob Sims and their first of two 2010 seventh-round draft choices (213th overall) to the Detroit Lions for defensive end Robert Henderson and Detroit’s 2010 fifth-round draft choice (133rd overall), the team announced this afternoon.

Sims was Seattle’s fourth-round draft pick (128th overall) in the 2006 NFL Draft and started 34 of 45 career games played. He started all 16 games in 2007 and all 14 games played last season at left guard.

Henderson was the New York Giants sixth-round draft pick (199th overall) from Southern Mississippi in the 2008 NFL Draft and signed with Detroit last season as a free agent, where he spent 11 games on the Lions practice squad.
