A trade for Thomas or Staley is not likely.
The Seahawks’ defense has played stellar football almost all season — and it put together its greatest performance yet Sunday night in Arizona.
It was the third straight year in Glendale that the Seahawks gave up just six points. But, thanks to an almost totally inept offense, they were not able to put together the same 35-6 and 36-6 thrashings of the past two years — instead ending up with the first tie in team history and the lowest-scoring tie since 1972.
The offense has been directly responsible for all one and a half losses this season — with two of the worst performances since Russell Wilson arrived in 2012.

Ricardo Lockette is raising awareness for spinal injuries.
The Seahawks’ trade for Jimmy Graham in 2015 was met with a lot of raised eyebrows and just about everyone critiqued Graham’s every move in the offense last season.
When he suffered a torn patellar tendon against Pittsburgh in Week 11, the critics of the deal said, “I told you so.”
They said it again as the offense took off without Graham, setting team records behind Russell Wilson and Doug Baldwin.
So, as Graham came back from the injury this year, the big questions were: (1) Would he be able to return to his old self, (2) would he and Wilson find the rhythm they had just discovered when he was hurt and (3) how would his return affect Baldwin?
The wins over the Niners and Jets provided answers to all of those queries.

Russell Wilson proved his pocket passing mettle one more time, Pete Carroll said.
Brandon Marshall beat Richard Sherman a few times, but Sherman got even with two picks.
Sherman said Marshall likes to use his hands to fend off cornerbacks, “the game within the game” Sherman had to win.
Wilson and Jimmy Graham continued to connect, with another 100-yard game.
Larry Stone wanted to rest Wilson, because he didn’t understand how great Wilson is.
“We needed this badly,” Pete Carroll said after his team beat the 49ers by double digits for the fifth straight time, 37-18.

Jimmy Graham “had his best week” and is “ready to play in all situations.”
No. 1 pick Jared Goff was promoted to second string by the Rams.
Tharold Simon is the latest failure from Seattle’s 2013 draft class.
A year ago at this time, the Seahawks were preparing to start the season with a shiny new Pro Bowl tight end and a new center, replacing the injury-prone veteran they had traded for the tight end.
The Seahawks were willing to let Max Unger go because he had not been able to stay healthy in the previous two seasons, and they expected Jimmy Graham to enhance their passing game by giving Russell Wilson a big over-the-middle target.
The results were about the opposite of what you might expect. Just as Wilson and Graham were getting into a rhythm, Graham’s season was cut short by a torn patellar tendon. Meanwhile, Unger, who had missed 13 games in 2013 and 2014 for Seattle, started every game for the Saints.
So, as the 2016 season nears, Unger suddenly is the sure thing — receiving a big contract extension from the Saints — and Graham is just trying to get back on the field and prove he merits his own extension after the season.
