Woolen was highly regarded just a few seasons ago, but simply hasn\u2019t played the type of football that he\u2019s been expected to in recent years. After being selected in the fifth round of the 2022 NFL Draft, he was a Pro Bowler as early as his rookie season.<\/p>\n<p>Given how poorly the Dallas Cowboys\u2018 defense has looked this season, there\u2019s reason to believe that Woolen could be an excellent piece for what Dallas is looking to accomplish. Its secondary has been banged up, the defense hasn\u2019t performed well, and it\u2019s obvious that things need to change. That\u2019s why Sports Illustrated proposed the idea of Woolen being traded to the Cowboys.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cDallas is working on scheme changes in the secondary, but that might not be enough. At this point, they need to consider making a major change with Trevon Diggs and DaRon Bland both struggling to play to their full potential.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cPerhaps they need someone to push them for their spots, which is what Riq Woolen could do. The 6-foot-4 cornerback tied for the league-lead with six interceptions in 2022 but doesn\u2019t appear to be in the long-term plans for Seattle. That could be a huge win for Dallas, who could use his talent to help clean up the secondary,\u201d Randy Gurzi wrote .<\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<h2><strong>Is Tariq Woolen Available in the Trade Market?<\/strong><\/h2>\n<p>Regarding the availability of Woolen for the Dallas Cowboys and other teams around the league, it sure sounds like the Seattle Seahawks will move on from him in the upcoming weeks.<\/p>\n<p>The trade deadline is Nov. 4, giving the Cowboys and other teams about three weeks before they have to make a trade.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cClubs are monitoring Seahawks CB Riq Woolen as a possible trade target by the deadline, which this year falls on Nov. 4, NFL Network Insider Ian Rapoport, Tom Pelissero and Mike Garafolo reported Sunday, per sources.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cRapoport added that Woolen\u2019s playing time should decrease now that Devon Witherspoon, who returned from a two-game absence for Thursday night\u2019s 23-20 win over the Cardinals, is healthy, and other organizations believe the fourth-year corner could be attainable in the final year of his rookie deal,\u201d Bobby Kownack of NFL.com wrote.<\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<h2><strong>What Would the Cowboys Need to Give Up for Tariq Woolen?<\/strong><\/h2>\n<p>The question for the Dallas Cowboys will likely come down to what they have to move on from to get something done for Woolen.<\/p>\n<p>According to NFL Network\u2019s Daniel Jeremiah, it sounds like it could be a fifth-round pick that turns into a fourth-rounder.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cTo me, it feels more like you get a five that turns into a four,\u201d Jeremiah said . \u201cAt the most, I would think a four that would turn into a three, (but) that seems like maybe that coffee\u2019s a little rich. But I think that\u2019s the family of which you\u2019re looking at in terms of compensation.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>If he\u2019s on a new team and has an opportunity to learn a new system, there\u2019s a chance that Woolen might be able to find his form from his earlier years. He\u2019s still very young, talented, and other factors could be playing a role in why he hasn\u2019t played well in Seattle recently.<\/p>\n<p>Jon Conahan covers the NBA and NFL for Heavy.com.
