As the NFL trade deadline approaches on November 4, buzz around the league is pointing to Seattle Seahawks Riq Woolen as one of the most likely candidates to be moved.
His rumored exit centers on his performance as it does on his fit in head coach Mike Macdonald’s impressive defense. Woolen has shown his success in man coverage, but Macdonald primarily sticks to zones, hence Woolen’s worsening stat sheet.
In six games, Woolen is on pace for his worst season in coverage, allowing 57% of passes in his coverage area to be completed for 203 yards and a score.
