Seahawks Face Tough Decision on Riq Woolen

0:00It's March 7th, here's your NFL news in two minutes. The Seattle Seahawks based a tough call on quarterback Rick Wullen as free agency kicks off next week. This fifth round pick from 2022 burst onto the scene as a rookie, tying the NFL lead with six interceptions and earning a pro-bowl nod. But after that hot start, inconsistency hit hard, even with a rebound from early struggles this past season. Central manager John Schneider noted Wullen had a solid year overall, despite the rocky beginning. His rare build at 6x4 and 210 pounds, plus a blazing 4.26 second 40 yard dash, makes him stand out. Still, nine penalties last year, including three for taunting, tied him for fifth among cornerbacks, and raised some flags. Tensions boiled over between Wullen and the coaching staff, leading to him losing his starting spot in week 10. He shifted to a backup role for the second half of the season, while the Seahawks cornerback group stayed deep with talent already in place.

1:01Teams around the league could offer Wullen a bigger paycheck than Seattle, especially with the Seahawks tending to other free agents. His skills would likely land him a starting gig elsewhere. Look for Seattle to pivot to cheaper options like Kobe Bryant or Josh Job instead, letting Wullen test the market and probably move on.
