How valuable is Olu Oluwatimi for the Seattle Seahawks in the trade market?
According to Bleacher Report’s Moe Moton, Oluwatimi is a player that the Seahawks not only stand to gain from trading away before the 2026 NFL season commences, but also have the potential to deal to a fitting suitor in the Baltimore Ravens.
“The Baltimore Ravens, who lost three-time Pro Bowl center Tyler Linderbaum to the Las Vegas Raiders in free agency, may offer an early Day 3 pick for Oluwatimi,” Moton said. “Head coach Mike Macdonald’s ties to Baltimore could help facilitate a deal.”
Oluwatimi only started in four of the eight games that he played for the Seahawks last season in favor of Jalen Sundell, Seattle’s new starting center. Oluwatimi was given a player grade of 55.9 by Pro Football Focus for his play last season, which ranked No. 35 overall at the position. He left something to be desired as a pass-blocker, with a 44.1 grade in that department.
The Maryland native is approaching the final year of his four-year deal with the Seahawks in 2026, making him all the more advantageous to trade prior to the start of next season. A fourth or fifth-round pick from the Ravens will add to Seattle’s draft pot and give the franchise the opportunity to select a quality player in the later rounds of the draft in the coming years.
