NFL insider shares surprising update on Seattle Seahawks
Digest more
Seattle's run game needs to improve, and ESPN's Bill Barnwell named two players who could be trade targets for the Seahawks.
With the trade deadline approaching, teams have reportedly inquired to the Seattle Seahawks about edge rusher Boye Mafe and cornerback Riq Woolen.
Seattle, according to NFL insider Dianna Russini of The Athletic, is looking to improve one area of the roster. The Seahawks are looking to improve Sam Darnold's protection, as one of the top teams vying for offensive line help at the deadline.
Seattle Seahawks cornerback Riq Woolen was once the center of trade rumors, but now it looks like Seattle might hold on to him, which gives the Detroit Lions, Buffalo Bills and Dallas Cowboys one less option to explore.
The Seahawks have shown interest in trading for an offensive lineman, according to NFL insider Conor Orr. That is more than enough for Sports Illustrated's Conor Orr to create, not one, but two trades from the Seahawks to improve the offensive line before the trade deadline passes.
The Seattle Seahawks and Los Angeles Chargers are rumored to be looking for offensive line help ahead of the NFL trade deadline and the New Orleans Saints and Chicago Bears could have the players they need.
The Seattle Seahawks could use a third top-tier wide receiver, and a trade with the Bears for DJ Moore can get them that.
Then, of course, there's the fact that the Seahawks would be trading Woolen in-conference and to a potential playoff rival. The Packers are leading the NFC with a 5-1-1 record, so a trade that is a "win" for Green Bay only hurts the Seahawks in the long run.
