The Seattle Seahawks will be facing off against the New England Patriots in Super Bowl LX. The Bengals could have interest in a few different upcoming free agents who will be playing in the game for Seattle.
Boye Mafe
Mafe is a former second-round draft pick. He is still just 27 years old. His production is down in 2025, compared to the previous two seasons. He has just two sacks this season. He had six sacks in 2024 and another nine sacks in 2023. He still has 41 pressures on the year.
He was ranked 22nd on the recent PFF Top 250 Free Agent list. He is projected to get a 3-year, $49 million contract this year. If the Bengals lose both Joseph Ossai and Trey Hendrickson, they could show interest in Mafe.
Coby Bryant
Bryant will be turning 27 soon, as well. The Bengals are not likely to bring back Geno Stone. Bryant is familiar with Cincinnati, having played his college ball for the Bearcats. He has an 80.9 run defense grade over the past two seasons. Additionally, he has seven interceptions over those two seasons. There is currently no salary projection for Bryant, but it would likely be at least $7 million per year.
Tariq Woolen
Woolen is another upcoming free agent in the Seattle secondary. He has tremendous size for a corner, measuring in at 6’4” and 205 pounds. He may be a bit more unlikely for the Bengals, considering they plan to keep Dax Hill as an outside cornerback. His projection of $15 million per year is unlikely for the third outside corner on the team.
Rashid Shaheed
The Seahawks pulled off a crucial trade for Shaheed prior to the NFL Trade Deadline this year. Shaheed is a deep threat as a receiver. Even more impactful has been what he has done as a returner. He has both a kickoff and a punt return touchdown since joining the Seahawks halfway through the season. He hasn’t dropped a single pass this season either. Shaheed may be too expensive for the Bengals, but every team in the league should have some interest in him this offseason.
