Eagles Sign Riq Woolen, Boosting Secondary

0:00For the NFL, it's March 18th, and here's what's going on. The Philadelphia Eagles just boosted their already strong secondary by signing cornerback Rick Woolen to a one-year, $15 million deal. This move brings in a top talent from the Seahawks to pair with their pass-rushers like Nolan Smith and Jay-Lick's Hunt under defensive coordinator Vic, Fangio. Woolen stands out with elite athleticism at 6'4", long arms, and a blistering 4.26 in the 40-yard dash from the 20, 22 combined. Last season he posted the second highest lockdown percentage in the league at 65%. The signing gives the Eagles more options in their defense. It lets versatile players like Cooper Dejean stay flexible while keeping backups, such as Jacorian, Bennett, and Keely Ringo ready. They can now ramp up man coverage from last year's 24.5% usage. Woolen thrives in aggressive plays, grabbing eight interceptions in man coverage since entering the league in 2022, ranking third.
