First, Carlos Dunlap was told to stay home. Then, he was told to pack his bags.

Just what he wanted.

The 31-year-old pass-rusher was traded Wednesday from the Cincinnati Bengals to the Seattle Seahawks for an unknown player and a draft pick. Dunlap addresses a major need for the Seahawks but will not be available for this weekend’s game because COVD-19 entry protocols require a six-day testing period.

Originally a second-round pick of the Bengals in 2010, Dunlap made the Pro Bowl in 2015 and 2016, but the longtime marriage dissolved this season. He was told not to report to practice Wednesday and it got “a little crazy there,” according to an ESPN report.

Dunlap’s role was reduced from 71 snaps in Week 3 to 66 combined over the last three games. He didn’t hide his discontent on social media – posting pictures of his third-team spot on the depth chart and his house for sale — or on the sidelines, where he was seen arguing with coaches during last week’s loss.

Dunlap has 82.5 career sacks, including nine last season but just one this season.

Pass-rusher has been the in-demand position ahead of the Nov. 3 NFL trade deadline. Markus Golden was shipped from the Giants to the Arizona Cardinals and Everson Griffen went from the Dallas Cowboys to the Detroit Lions.

The Seahawks have been in the market for help chasing quarterbacks ever since Jadeveon Clowney decided to sign with the Titans rather than return to Seattle just before the start of the regular season.
