Super Bowl champion cornerback Riq Woolen has agreed to a one-year, $15 million contract with the Philadelphia Eagles.
According to Dianna Russini of Athletics, Woolen, who turns 27 in May, was the No. 24 overall free agent and No. 2 cornerback in Athletics List of the top 150 free agents.
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, tying for the league lead, and earning a Pro Bowl selection.
However, his career has had its ups and downs. Woolen was briefly benched in 2023 and again in 2024 due to a violation of team rules.
After starting 17, 15 and 14 games in his first three seasons, he started only seven games in 2025 and alternated with Josh Jobe as Seattle’s second outside cornerback. He also led the team in penalty yards that season.
In the NFC Championship Game against the Los Angeles Rams, Woolen’s performance was not up to par; However, despite this, the Seahawks won the game and went on to win the Super Bowl two weeks later.
In four seasons, Woolen recorded 53 passes defended, tied for second in the NFL during that span.
He also had 12 interceptions, ranking 10th in the league since entering the NFL.
