Report: Redskins trade Dunbar to Seahawks

The Washington Redskins have agreed to trade cornerback Quinton Dunbar to the Seattle Seahawks, a source told ESPN's Josina Anderson.

Seattle is sending a fifth-round pick back to D.C., reports ESPN's Adam Schefter.

Dunbar had requested a trade or release in February, and the Redskins reportedly made the corner available Sunday.

Washington dealt a fifth-round pick to the Carolina Panthers earlier Monday in a trade for backup quarterback Kyle Allen. They now receive a selection in the same round for Dunbar.

The 27-year-old was the NFL's second-highest-graded cornerback last season, according to PFF. He's entering the final season of a three-year, $10.5-million extension signed in 2018.

Dunbar now jumps from a 3-13 outfit to a Seahawks team that went 11-5 and reached the divisional round of the playoffs in 2019. He'll form a tandem with Shaquill Griffin in Seattle's secondary.
