The Seattle Seahawks have traded Tapp to Philadelphia for defensive end Chris Clemons and the Eagles' fourth-round choice in next month's draft.|||||||
The Seahawks announced the deal Tuesday. They drafted Tapp in the second round in 2006 out of Virginia Tech and re-signed him Monday. He has 18 sacks, two interceptions, eight forced fumbles and four fumble recoveries in 65 NFL games. He had four sacks in a game against St. Louis in 2007.
Green Bay QB Aaron Rodgers accused Tapp of biting him during the Packers' 27-17 victory over the Seahawks last season, an allegation Tapp steadfastly denies. "He's not my concern as far as if I bit him or not because it didn't happen," Tapp said.|||||||
Not only did Tapp deny the incident, but he also seemed puzzled as to the timing of Rodgers' complaint. "I know me personally, if someone were to bite me I wouldn't wait a whole year to bring it up to somebody to get it handled.''
