The Philadelphia Eagles have reached an agreement on a one-year deal with former Seattle Seahawks Pro-Bowl cornerback Riq Woolen, according to Adam Schefter and Jeremy Fowler of ESPN.
The contract is worth up to $15 million, as confirmed by Woolen's agent, Jason Chayut. Woolen, who earned Pro Bowl honors during his tenure with the Seattle Seahawks, now heads to Philadelphia to join a revamped secondary. The move provides the Philadelphia Eagles with a high-upside perimeter defender as they look to solidify their defense for the upcoming season.
Woolen established himself as one of the league's most promising young defensive backs early in his career, known for his elite speed and length. His transition to the Philadelphia Eagles comes as the team continues to prioritize playmaking ability in their defensive backfield. The one-year deal allows Woolen to showcase his talents in a new system while giving Philadelphia a premier talent at the cornerback position.
