He amassed 23 touchdowns on 69 receptions over his first two seasons in the NFL. Turner's production declined in his next two seasons, which he attributed to alcohol and drug abuse. The Seahawks attempted to trade Turner to the Cleveland Browns for an undisclosed draft pick after the 1987 NFL season. The trade was voided after Turner failed a physical examination and the Seahawks released him. Turner subsequently entered a drug rehabilitation program. The San Francisco 49ers offered Turner a tryout before the 1988 NFL season, but he failed to secure a roster spot.
