Seahawks Field Calls on Boye Mafe and Riq Woolen as NFL Trade Deadline Nears

Seattle signals it will hold unless a premium offer arrives, prioritizing its 5-2 push over cashing out expiring deals.

Overview

  • Multiple teams have asked about edge rusher Boye Mafe and cornerback Riq (Tariq) Woolen, but Seattle has not wanted to trade either, per ESPN.
  • Both 2022 draftees are in contract years and have seen production dip this season, factors that rival clubs view as buy‑low opportunities.
  • Reporting indicates the Seahawks would likely only consider a premium return, with some analysts characterizing the price as an early pick plus a controllable player.
  • The market is heating up ahead of Tuesday’s 4 p.m. ET deadline, highlighted by the Eagles acquiring Dolphins pass rusher Jaelan Phillips for a future third-round pick.
  • The Cowboys are actively pursuing defensive help and appear open to dealing former first-round DT Mazi Smith, moves that could tighten demand for available defenders.
