For the third time this offseason, the Raiders are trading away one of their starting offensive linemen. Trent Brown was the first to go, and today they sent starting center Rodney Hudson to the Cardinals and now have sent the man to his right up north to Seattle.
The compensation from Seattle to Vegas for Gabe Jackson is a 2021 fifth-round pick, per source. https://t.co/Rod68zcjwH

The compensation is a 2021 fifth-round pick. Hudson was sent along with a seventh-round pick in exchange for a third-round pick, so Jackson yielding a fifth-round pick is just about what you’d expect
Last offseason the Raiders attempted to trade Jackson and were unsuccessful. Now after a bounce-back season, and with a somewhat reasonable contract, the Seahawks took him in trade.
This concludes a week in which Jackson was told he would be released. But in the end, just as happened with Hudson, the Raiders were able to get something for the talented offensive lineman, rather than just lose him with nothing in return.
