The Baltimore Ravens are in a tailspin after getting blown out in a 37-20 loss to the Kansas City Chiefs, sending them home with a 1-3 record. Baltimore's defense continues to be a massive problem, as they have now given up 16 touchdowns this season, which leads the NFL, and they are surrendering a league-high 33.3 points per game.
The additions of Jaire Alexander and Chidobe Awuzie have done more harm than good through four games, which has lead to opposing offenses throwing the ball all over the yard. That said, there could be a saving grace for the Ravens, should they be willing to make a trade.
The Seattle Seahawks are reportedly open to trading Pro Bowl cornerback Riq Woolen, as their secondary is a bit crowded with young talent.
"With Seahawks star CB Devon Witherspoon returning on Thursday, teams are monitoring Pro Bowl CB Riq Woolen as a possible trade target by the deadline, sources tell The Insiders," Ian Rapoport reports. "Woolen’s playing time has diminished, and in a contract year, teams believe he could be available."
There is obvious connective tissue between the two teams, as Seahawks head coach Mike Macdonald was the Ravens' defensive coordinator before getting the job in Seattle. If Eric DeCosta were to make the call, perhaps Baltimore can add a piece to their secondary to help improve their dreadful defense.
