PHILADELPHIA — The Eagles have added another experienced piece to their secondary, agreeing to a one-year deal with former Pro Bowl cornerback Riq Woolen.
Multiple reports Tuesday said the deal is worth up to $15 million, giving Philadelphia a proven outside corner as the team continues making moves in free agency. Woolen now heads to Philadelphia after spending the first part of his NFL career in Seattle.
Woolen made an immediate impact when he entered the league, earning Pro Bowl honors during his rookie season and quickly becoming known for his size, speed, and ability to make plays on the ball. He gives the Eagles another athletic option in the defensive backfield and adds more competition to a unit looking to remain among the league’s best.
For Philadelphia, the move is a low-risk addition with major upside. A one-year deal gives the Eagles flexibility while also giving Woolen an opportunity to make a strong impression in a new system. If he returns to top form, this could end up being one of the more important defensive pickups of the offseason.
The signing also continues the Eagles’ effort to reinforce the defense heading into the 2026 season. Adding a former Pro Bowl talent at corner gives the team more depth and experience at a premium position.
Woolen is coming off the 2025 season in Seattle and now gets a fresh start with an Eagles team expected to again be in the mix in the NFC.
This is a developing story. First Source News will continue to follow Eagles free agency moves.
