Raiders Emerge as Potential Destination as Teams Monitor Seahawks CB Riq Woolen

Trade chatter reflects a contract-year corner seeing reduced snaps in Seattle.

Overview

  • NFL Network’s Ian Rapoport reports clubs are monitoring Riq Woolen as a possible deadline target with Devon Witherspoon back and Woolen’s playing time down.
  • Las Vegas is repeatedly identified as a logical fit due to Pete Carroll’s history drafting and coaching Woolen in Seattle.
  • Reporting highlights a fluctuating role under Mike Macdonald and recurring inconsistency, including penalties and a past benching.
  • The Raiders’ secondary has struggled, with starter Kyu Blu Kelly carrying a 57 Pro Football Focus grade that ranks 100th of 164 cornerbacks.
  • No deal is in place, and one projection from Bleacher Report values a potential move at a conditional 2026 fourth-round pick.
