**Seattle Seahawks Acquire Roy Robertson-Harris from Jacksonville Jaguars**

In an effort to strengthen their defense, the Seattle Seahawks have acquired defensive lineman Roy Robertson-Harris from the Jacksonville Jaguars. The trade, which involves a 2026 sixth-round pick, was reported by NFL Network Insiders Ian Rapoport, Tom Pelissero, and Mike Garafolo.

Robertson-Harris learned about the trade while in London with the Jaguars. He is set to join his new team in Seattle, as noted by Pelissero. The defensive lineman ended his Jaguars tenure on a high, registering a sack in their recent loss to the Bears.

Seattle's defensive struggles have been particularly evident in their last three games, especially in defending the run. Ranking 27th in the NFL, the Seahawks have been allowing an average of 144.7 rushing yards per game. The addition of Robertson-Harris aims to fortify a defensive line that already features talents like Leonard Williams and promising rookie Byron Murphy II.

Currently holding a 3-3 record, the Seahawks are eager to break a three-game losing streak. They face a challenging road matchup against the Atlanta Falcons this Sunday, where they hope their revamped defense will make a significant impact.
