CB Riq Woolen, Eagles agree to one-year, $15 million deal: Sources

Super Bowl champion cornerback Riq Woolen has agreed to a one-year cope with the Philadelphia Eagles value $15 million, sources informed The Athletic’s Dianna Russini.

Woolen, who turns 27 in May, was the No. 24 participant and No. 2 cornerback in TheAthletic‘s Top 150 free agents. He presents a uncommon mixture of measurement and velocity on the place, measuring 6 ft 4 with 33 5/8-inch arms and operating a 4.26 40-yard sprint on the 2022 NFL mix.

The Seattle Seahawks drafted Woolen within the fifth spherical that 12 months, and he made a right away influence. As a rookie, he tied for the league lead in interceptions with six and earned a Pro Bowl choice.

However, Woolen has had his share of ups and downs the previous three seasons. He was quickly benched in 2023 and 2024, the latter of which was self-discipline for a staff rule violation. After beginning 17, 15 and 14 video games in his first three seasons, respectively, Woolen began simply seven regular-season video games (and not one of the three playoff video games) in 2025, rotating with Josh Jobe as Seattle’s second exterior cornerback. He led the Seahawks in penalty yardage and was second on the staff in accepted penalties, in accordance to TruMedia.

Woolen’s mistakes in the NFC Championship Game in opposition to the Los Angeles Rams may have price the Seahawks an opportunity to go to the Super Bowl. One play after his taunting penalty prolonged a Rams drive that was set to finish in a punt, Woolen was crushed for a landing, giving Los Angeles new life late within the third quarter.

The Seahawks would maintain on to win the sport and win the Super Bowl two weeks later. Woolen performed 69 p.c of the staff’s defensive snaps within the 29-13 Super Bowl victory over the New England Patriots.

Woolen has 53 passes defended in 4 seasons, tied for second-most within the NFL since he entered the league. His 12 interceptions rank tenth over that span.
