Well, rumors of trades and teams talking to other teams about trades, does get leaked at times around the draft. That is what "it's being reported that Green Bay, Philadelphia, and Washington are trying to get pick 16 in a trade with Seattle" means.

Yes, there's a writer for the local "locked on seahawks" talking about the team wanting to trade back to recoup value.  He hasn't quoted anyone, it's just his opinion.  And then Chad Forbes on twitter echoes the sentiment.  Again, not quoting anyone.  Chad is a self titled "NFL Afficianado".  He's appears to be a commanders fan trying to build a brand to get a real gig covering the team/league.  He looks like a fun follow on twitter, but guys have to write articles and post opinions on x/twitter to drive engagement.  During the lead up to the draft, writing articles about the possibility of trading picks is easy pickens for clicks.  Putting two and two together is fun and could wind up being correct, but it hasn't been "reported" that any specific team is in talks to trade up.  It's being guessed at that OT needy teams need to move up to a spot where an OT might get selected and the team that currently holds that spot doesn't really need OT help.

I was looking for Chad Forbes outside of his twitter account and I found a podcast he appeared on here:

He's really scraping the bottom of the barrel is he's accepting appearances on shows like this.  Seriously doubt anyone from any team is relaying behind closed door info, especially about draft pick trades, to Chad Forbes.
