What was the deal between John Schneider and Ted Thompson?

While reading this week’s Enemy Reaction on the first round of the draft, specifically the part where Seahawks and Packers fans rejoice on the trade the two franchises made last Thursday, it occurred to me that this used to never happen. Not the trade part back of course, that’s a 365-day-a-year sport for John Schneider, but the part where he does it with his former franchise.

I’ve been tracking Schneider’s trade history since the beginning and one thing that I had known for a long time was that for whatever reason, he never traded with Green Bay, the organization for which he worked for four years in the beginning of his career, then another eight prior to being hired as Seattle’s GM in 2010.
