Avery Smith Finds New Home in Seattle | Los Angeles Chargers News

The Chargers pulled off a savvy move, trading Avery Smith to Seattle just before the deadline for a sixth-round pick in 2026 — a win-win since he likely would’ve been cut anyway. Now, Smith gets a real shot to shine in Seattle’s struggling secondary, where his speed and slot versatility could make an immediate impact, especially with Nick Emmanwori sidelined. The Seahawks’ coaching staff even knows his system from their Baltimore days, giving him a leg up. With Seattle thin at outside corner and plenty of defensive backs on the roster, Smith might play more roles than expected — and could be the one who truly benefits from this trade.
