Thirty minutes after he walked off the practice field Tuesday laughing and joking with teammates, cornerback Josh Wilson was traded by the Seahawks to the Baltimore Ravens in a surprising move by first-year general manager John Schneider.
The Seahawks will receive a conditional 2011 draft pick in return for Wilson, reportedly a fifth-round pick that could change depnding on how much he plays for the Ravens.
Wilson, 25, started 23 games for the Seahawks over the past two seasons and was battling with Kelly Jennings for a starting job this year.
He also has been the team's primary kickoff return man.

Huh? Yeah, Thurmond looks good, but really hope it's better than a 5th round. Carroll said he wanted to find a way to keep Roy Lewis around... guess he did.
Earlier in the week Pete said he was tough, fast, and had a big heart before going on to say that he hoped they could find a way to keep him.. It will be interesting to grade this out later. If Wilson performs and we get even a 4th and Lewis looks good then this will be a wise trade, but it's certainly a gamble in my eyes.
