Giants Targeting Riq Woolen & Wyatt Teller?

Per Connor Hughes, the Giants are pivoting their free agent CB search to Riq Woolen after missing out on Jamel Dean and Cordale Flott.

Hughes adds New York remains interested G Wyatt Teller, but believes they’ll have to “work for that,” as two other teams are pursuing him as well, including the Jets. 

Woolen, 26, converted from receiver to cornerback at UTSA. The Seahawks selected him in the fifth round with the No. 153 overall pick of the 2022 NFL Draft. 

He’s entering the final year of a four-year, $3.992 million rookie contract that included a signing bonus of $332,216 and will be an unrestricted free agent in 2026.  

In 2025, Woolen appeared in 16 games for the Seahawks and recorded 41 tackles, one tackle for loss, one interception and 12 pass defenses.

Teller, 31, is a former fifth-round pick of the Bills back in 2018. He was in the second year of his four-year, $2.7 million contract and set to make base salaries of $570,000 and $660,000 over the next two years of the agreement when the Bills traded him to the Browns coming out of the preseason in 2019.

The Browns signed Teller to a four-year extension worth $56.8 million back in November of 2021. He was due base salaries of $1.5 million and $2.8 million in the final two years of the deal. 

He is set to become an unrestricted free agent in 2026.

In 2025, Teller appeared in and started 13 games for the Browns at right guard.
