Super Bowl champion cornerback Riq Woollen has agreed to a one-year, $15 million deal with the Philadelphia Eagles.
According to Dianna Russini from The athletic, Woolen, who turns 27 in May, was the No. 24 overall free agent and No. 2 cornerback in Athletics Top 150 free agents list.
The 6-foot-4 athlete is known for his rare blend of size and speed. He ran a 4.26-second 40-yard dash at the 2022 NFL Combine.
He played exceptionally well for the Seattle Seahawks after being drafted in 2022. Woolen made an immediate impact in his rookie season by recording six interceptions, tied for the league lead, and earning a Pro Bowl selection.
However, his career has had some ups and downs. Woolen was briefly benched in 2023 and again in 2024 due to a breach of team rules.
After starting 17, 15 and 14 games in his first three seasons, he started just seven games in 2025, rotating with Josh Jobe as Seattle’s other outside cornerback. He also led the team in penalty kicks that season.
During the NFC Championship game against the Los Angeles Rams, Woolen’s performance was not up to the mark; despite that, the Seahawks won the game and went on to win the Super Bowl two weeks later.
Over four seasons, Woolen has recorded 53 passes defensed, the second most in the NFL during that span.
He has also made 12 interceptions, ranking 10th in the league, since entering the NFL.
