• NFL Network insiders report multiple teams are monitoring the former Pro Bowl cornerback as a potential deadline target.
• Devon Witherspoon’s return, strong stretches from Josh Jobe and waiver pickup Derion Kendrick, and the expected Week 5 return of rookie Nick Emmanwori are set to squeeze Woolen’s snaps.
• Woolen’s early-2025 slide includes a 40.4 overall PFF grade, a 40.1 coverage grade, six penalties and a 106.7 passer rating allowed after a 2022 rookie breakout with six interceptions.
• Analysts have flagged several logical suitors with cornerback needs, including the Rams, Bills, Bears, Eagles, Raiders, Ravens and Cowboys.
• Reporting and analysis suggest modest compensation such as Day 3 or conditional picks, with some outlets floating player-for-player concepts, as Seattle sits 3-1 and is expected to prioritize its best lineup while listening to interest.
