NFL Rumors: 3 Teams Talking Trade With Seahawks For Pro Bowler

Seattle Seahawks cornerback Tariq Woolen celebrates during 2022 game

The Tariq Woolen trade buzz is real, and multiple outlets suggest the Chicago Bears, Detroit Lions, and Indianapolis Colts are among the teams checking in with the Seattle Seahawks

Each contender has a clear cornerback need due to injuries or thin depth, and Woolen’s mix of size and ball skills makes him a logical target. He's a former Pro Bowler with elite traits, and his snap share has dipped in Seattle, which has fueled trade chatter ahead of the deadline.

Why Bears, Lions, and Colts are motivated on a Tariq Woolen deal

The Bears have battled injuries at corner and need a starter who can hold up on the outside while their room gets healthy. 

The Lions have taken hits to their secondary and are searching for a proven perimeter option who can stabilize coverage right away. 

The Colts are winning but are patching the back end and need a temporary CB1 while their top options heal. Woolen offers size at six foot four, recovery speed, and proven ball production from his breakout rookie season.

What Seattle wants and what a deal might cost

League chatter frames Woolen as available at the right price, with recent speculation placing his value in the day-two or early day-three range. He is in a contract year, which keeps the acquisition cost in check while still offering upside for an extension if he rebounds.
