Seahawks Field Calls on Boye Mafe, Riq Woolen as Deadline Nears

Seattle signals it will hold unless a premium bid arrives before Tuesday’s deadline.

Overview

  • ESPN’s Adam Schefter reports multiple teams have checked on edge rusher Boye Mafe and cornerback Riq Woolen ahead of the Nov. 4 cutoff.
  • Sources say the Seahawks do not want to trade either player and would only consider talks for a high-end return.
  • Both defenders are 2022 draftees under team control through the 2025 season, increasing their appeal as affordable, young acquisitions.
  • Production has dipped this year, with Mafe at zero sacks through seven games and Woolen without an interception, per ESPN’s snapshot.
  • At 5-2, Seattle is weighing buyer interest against a playoff push and upcoming payday timelines for Jaxon Smith-Njigba, Charles Cross and Devon Witherspoon.
