Field Gulls
We’ve reached NFL trade deadline week, which is not nearly as eventful as say, the NBA, NHL, or MLB trade deadlines, but we could still see some activity from now until Tuesday’s deadline.
For the second year in a row, the trade deadline is during Week 10. The Seattle Seahawks have historically been a team willing to make midseason moves, whether big-time acquisitions like Leonard Williams and Duane Brown, or sneaky good moves like Carlos Dunlap, Quandre Diggs, and most recently Ernest Jones IV. Follow Field Gulls’ coverage throughout Monday and Tuesday, and we’ll see if the Seahawks will be making any deals as they sit tied atop the NFC West at 6-2.
None.
Pass rusher Boye Mafe and cornerback Riq Woolen, both of whom are on expiring contracts, have reportedly received trade interest around the league. This isn’t to say they’ll be dealt, but you never say never if the right deal comes around.
The injury to Ernest Jones IV may prompt Seattle to look at off-ball linebackers. There may also be interest along the offensive line, particularly at center and right guard, where starters Jalen Sundell and Anthony Bradford have respectively been the weaker parts of the team. Cornerback could also be a consideration should Woolen be traded. Wide receiver is not likely despite Cooper Kupp’s injury, although there may be some reinforcement at a lower level given the uncertain health of Jake Bobo and Dareke Young.
At 4 pm ET/1 pm PT on Tuesday, Nov. 4.
