"According to Ian Rapoport of the NFL Network, there is a growing sense around the league that the Seattle Seahawks could move Riq Woolen if the right offer comes along. The return of first-round pick Devon Witherspoon, coupled with the player's contract situation, may make him expendable, allowing the NFC West club to secure something in return. Woolen's been a revelation since entering the league as a fifth-round pick in the 2022 draft."
"His size, length, and athleticism were tailor-made for Seattle's schematic concepts, and he finished third in NFL Defensive Rookie of the Year voting after a six-interception campaign right out of the gate. He has been solid, if less spectacular, in the years since. Woolen is playing more reps than at any stage since his rookie year. Witherspoon is also better suited to the nickel role, so it's not exactly a like-for-like replacement, either."
Adam Peters has shown willingness to make bold trades to improve roster despite reduced disposable draft assets. The Commanders currently field a decent cornerback quartet that has shown individual promise but has yet to coalesce into a collective force. Head coach Dan Quinn is short-handed after placing Jonathan Jones on injured reserve. The Seattle Seahawks may be willing to move Riq Woolen if an acceptable offer arises, influenced by Devon Witherspoon's return and Woolen's contract situation. Woolen entered the league as a fifth-round pick in 2022, produced six interceptions as a rookie, and remains a physical, athletic cornerback with increased snap counts.
