Lions trade Robert Henderson to Seattle

We noted this morning that Seattle sent guard Rob Sims to Detroit for a fifth-round draft pick.

But the Lions and Seahawks weren’t done there.

Adam Schefter of ESPN reports that the Seahawks also traded a seventh-round draft pick to the Lions for defensive end Robert Henderson. Add it all up, and the Seahawks end up with Henderson and a fifth-round pick, while the Lions end up with Sims and a seventh-round pick.

Henderson was drafted by the Giants in 2008 but spent his entire rookie season on injured reserve after suffering an ankle injury in the preseason. He was waived by the Giants in 2009, signed briefly to the Jaguars’ practice squad and then acquired by the Lions. He has never played in a regular-season game.
