Field Gulls
With the NFL trade deadline looming on Nov. 4, there is much speculation around all 32 NFL teams and which players they could trade for, or trade away. So how could this trade deadline look for the Seattle Seahawks? With midseason acquisitions of players like Marshawn Lynch, Duane Brown, Quandre Diggs, Leonard Williams, and Ernest Jones IV, John Schneider has seemingly shown himself to be a master of the midseason trade. And with the Seahawks now being 4-2 and tied for first in the NFC West the Seahawks could be looking to add to their arsenal again this year.
In this article we will look at three potential trades. This is not to say all three will happen (they surely will not), but it will be quite fun if at least one of them hits in the next few weeks!
Before talking about potential players the Seahawks could try to trade for, an article about the Seahawks 2025 trade deadline would be incomplete without talking about cornerback Riq Woolen. Recently there has been much speculation about Seattle potentially trading away Woolen. With an expiring contract, as well as diminishing play time, this speculation is rightfully warranted.
However, in the two weeks since the infamous Ian Rapoport “Woolen trade” tweet came out, the Seahawks secondary has taken a beating in the injury department (including Woolen himself). And despite how frustrating Woolen’s play can be at times, the subpar play by Woolen’s backups (Nehemiah Pritchett/Shaquill Griffin) these past few weeks make one sober up to what the reality could be if Woolen were no longer on the roster. Though the Seahawks have some other talented cornerbacks such as Devon Witherspoon, Josh Jobe, Derion Kendrick, and Nick Emmanwori (who has been playing “big nickel”), if the Seahawks lack of injury luck continues, you may be putting yourself into the position of starting Pritchett or Griffin again. With all of that said, if the Seahawks truly believe they can contend this year, it would not make sense for them to be trading away defensive talent. Especially elite athletic talent in the secondary, a position group that has already seen a myriad of injuries this season.
On the note that the Seahawks are potential contenders in the NFC, the Seahawks ought to be buying at the deadline and not selling. Let us go through some potential trade candidates the Seahawks could be eyeing come the November 4th trade deadline.
There will be other popular names you hear about like Wyatt Teller and Joel Bitonio that could be potential options if Seattle were to bring in an offensive lineman. However, both Teller and Bitonio have pricier contracts that Seattle would likely want renegotiated or to be partially paid by Cleveland. The Seahawks would likely need to pay more in trade compensation for either of those options to happen. A cheaper option could be Kevin Zeitler.
Zeitler is currently on a [one-year, $9 million deal, with $8.75...
