Stupid thread, like someone pulled a Werthers original out of the couch cushions and called a 5 second rule.
We have Spoon, Jobe, Riq and I guess Shaq. Better hope they stay healthy.
If you didn't watch nanomoz's videos you are dead to me like a toffee candy with lint & hair stuck to it.

I don't need a video to tell me what my eyes see. No, he not a top 10 corner, at all. He's not close to the most valuable player on this defense.
No wonder I always look up to your opinions. We think alike, more often than not.

It's common for want-to-be influence peddlers to use public forums to develop and/or practice their craft.

With regards to Woolen, it is my assumption that he is also still the fastest player on the Seahawks roster.

Looking forward to watching him grow his craft.

My opinion hasn't changed. I think he's worth more than $5M this year and if he leaves as a FA in 2026 you'll get a 3rd or 4th round compensatory pick in 2027. If you trade him now you'll get a mid/low 3rd round pick in 2026. I'd keep the value of his outplaying his contract and small lose in future pick value over trading him now. That's a value decision. The business decision is that the Seahawks won't do much this year and it would be better to rollover value to a future year. It's hard to judge the market in August. It's also dependent on Woolen being willing to play out his contract.

What if a team offers a low 2nd?

...and what if the team think they're in win now mode. It's a judgement call. I'd probably take a low 2nd but i'm in the group that thinks the Seahawks season will result in a top 10 pick.

How will they get that top 10 pick when their own pick will be #32? So two first round picks next year? Cool!

Why not allow yourself to be challenged and give them a watch? Your opinion would be more informed. Hawkblogger, particularly, brings up some data points that are really interesting.
I get what you are saying, but I have my opinion, and this isn't just some small sample size. Dude was benched, TWICE.

Also, he wasn't meaningfully benched. He sat for a series to send a message. He seemed to receive it.

Do you not see him look like he takes plays off? I sure do.
He certainly has. How many CBs don't? Not many. And NONE have Riq's physical skills.

C'mon, fish. Give them a watch. Don't dig in your heels and plug your ears. Watch them and then we can chat more about it. I certainly know the things that form your opinion, and those things are totally valid. But they're not the whole story.

Guy gets lazy, doesn't have that dog in him. Not sure you can teach that. I'm not trading him this season, unless the bait is too good to pass up. I'd let him test the market though.
