Eagles add Riq Woolen
Philadelphia’s 2026 free‑agency haul earned solid grades — the club added cornerback Riq Woolen, a move analysts expect to immediately bolster the secondary.

The Eagles signed Woolen to a one‑year deal reported to be worth up to $15 million, according to agent confirmation and league reporters. (espn.com)) OverTheCap figures reported by local outlets list a different structure — a one‑year, $12 million number that is fully guaranteed, with Philadelphia carrying a modest 2026 cap hit and larger 2027 dead‑cap implication. (nbcphiladelphia.com)) Team sources framed Woolen as a candidate to compete for a starting cornerback spot opposite Quinyon Mitchell upon arrival in Philadelphia. (espn.com)) The Eagles’ official release noted coaching familiarity with Woolen — Clint Hurtt and Roy Anderson both coached him in Seattle — and cited his role on Seattle’s Super Bowl LX roster. (philadelphiaeagles.com)) Woolen enters Philadelphia after four seasons with the Seahawks, a 2022 fifth‑round pick (153rd overall) who has career highlights that include a Pro Bowl nod and the 2025 Super Bowl title. (pro-football-reference.com)) As a mid‑March signing during the negotiating window, Woolen joins a flurry of Eagles free‑agency moves and will be a one‑year veteran presence in the secondary for the 2026 season.
