Polarizing trade gamble could be just what the Seahawks need before the deadline

The Seattle Seahawks fanbase are not that far removed from looking at cornerback Riq Woolen as an immovable piece of their future, but the team's new-look defense has given them enough star power on that side of the ball to shop Woolen across the league in search of a better spot for the UTSA alum.

Woolen's decline under Mike Macdonald has been noticeable, but those physical gifts are good enough to get multiple teams with eyes on a championship interested in him.

Bleacher Report ranked Woolen at No. 6 overall on their NFL Trade Deadline Big Board, listing the Indianapolis Colts and Philadelphia Eagles as teams who could consider such a move.
