Seattle Seahawks Weigh High-Profile Trades Ahead 2025 NFL Deadline

As the 2025 NFL trade deadline approaches, the Seattle Seahawks are considering adjustments on both sides of the ball to strengthen their playoff chances. Cornerback Riq Woolen, despite his physical gifts, has seen a decline and is being shopped around, with potential interest from teams like the Philadelphia Eagles, who need outside cornerbacks. The Seahawks' defense has depth at cornerback with Devon Witherspoon and others, allowing them to consider trading Woolen if the return justifies the move. On offense, right guard remains a weak spot, and while wide receiver Jaxon Smith-Njigba is excelling, the team could benefit from a solid WR2 to relieve him; players like Brian Thomas Jr. and DJ Moore have been linked as trade possibilities. However, some proposed trades, such as swapping Woolen for Packers wide receiver Dontayvion Wicks, raise concerns due to giving strength to a conference rival and not necessarily improving the Seahawks' offense. Overall, the Seahawks seem poised to make strategic moves that address key needs without weakening their competitive position.
