Overview

• Macdonald responded "yeah" when asked if Kendrick has earned the right to compete at nickel, a move that would keep Devon Witherspoon outside and squeeze snaps elsewhere.
• NFL Network’s Ian Rapoport reports teams are monitoring Woolen as a possible deadline target due to reduced playing time in a contract year.
• The Raiders are frequently cited as a fit because Pete Carroll coached Woolen in Seattle and Las Vegas needs help at cornerback.
• Kendrick has impressed in limited action with two interceptions and multiple pass breakups, strengthening the case for a larger role.
• Analysts have floated values from conditional mid-to-late picks to player-for-player concepts, reflecting interest in Woolen’s upside despite poor 2025 grades; no trade has been made before the Nov. 4 deadline.
