Seahawks Face Tough Decision on Riq Woolen

0:00It's March 5th, here's your NFL news in two minutes. The Seattle Seahawks face a tough call this off season on cornerback Rick Willen, who's hitting free agency after a mixed season during their Super Bowl. Push, he flashed some big plays but also had costly mistakes and now analysts stout he'll stick around. ESPN's Ben Solak wonders why Seattle would pay Willen $12-15 million a year just to keep him in a backup role with limited snaps. The team already has Devon Witherspoon locked in as their top corner and he's up for a huge extension soon. Fans and experts see the math not adding up, especially with salary cap space needed elsewhere. Resigning Willen wouldn't help fit those bigger deals and his playing time kept shrinking late in the year. Instead, letting him walk could net Seattle a compensatory draft pick maybe as high as a fourth rounder in 2027. That feels like the smart play over overpaying for part time help. Expect Willen to land with a new team next season as the Seahawks prioritize other roster
