The Philadelphia Eagles have officially signed former Seattle Seahawks cornerback Riq Woolen, according to a report from @AdamSchefter.

Woolen, who established himself as one of the league's premier young defensive backs in Seattle, joins an Eagles secondary looking to bolster its depth and playmaking ability. During his standout rookie season in 2022, Woolen tied for the NFL lead with six interceptions and earned a Pro Bowl selection. His elite speed and 6-foot-4 frame have made him a significant asset on the perimeter throughout his young career.

The move marks Philadelphia's first major splash on the free-agent scoreboard this offseason. The addition of Woolen provides the Eagles with a high-upside starter as they continue to reshape their defense for the upcoming campaign. Further details regarding the specific terms and length of the contract have not yet been disclosed by the team.

This is a developing story. Check back for updates.
