It's trade deadline time in the NFL, and while it might not be as thrilling as other leagues, the Seattle Seahawks could still surprise us! With the team tied for the NFC West lead, will they stay put or make a bold move?
No trades yet, but history suggests otherwise. The Seahawks have a reputation for midseason moves, from blockbuster trades to sneaky signings. Leonard Williams and Duane Brown were big-name acquisitions, while Carlos Dunlap and Quandre Diggs proved to be shrewd additions. And let's not forget about the recent acquisition of Ernest Jones IV.
Now, all eyes are on the Seahawks as the trade deadline looms. Here's what you need to know:
Potential Trade Bait: Pass rusher Boye Mafe and cornerback Riq Woolen are on the radar of other teams, according to sources. With their contracts expiring, a trade could be on the cards, but it's not a done deal.
Positions of Interest: The injury to Ernest Jones IV may push the Seahawks to explore the market for off-ball linebackers. The offensive line, especially at center and right guard, could also be an area of focus. And if Woolen is traded, cornerback becomes a priority. Despite Cooper Kupp's injury, wide receiver isn't a likely target, but lower-level reinforcements could be an option due to injury concerns.
Trade Deadline Looming: The NFL trade window closes on Tuesday, Nov. 4, at 4 pm ET/1 pm PT. Will the Seahawks make a last-minute splash?
Latest Trade News: Around the league, notable moves are already happening. The Baltimore Ravens acquired former Seahawks defensive end Dre'Mont Jones from the Titans, and the Philadelphia Eagles bolstered their defense by trading for edge rusher Jaelan Phillips.
And here's where it gets interesting for Seahawks fans: With the team's history of midseason moves and potential needs, will they stay quiet or make a splash? The clock is ticking!
