Eagles Sign Woolen: Big Move in Free Agency

About this episode

The Philadelphia Eagles have signed cornerback Riq Woolen to a one-year deal, adding depth to their promising cornerback group. Woolen, a former wide receiver turned defender, brings speed and elite potential to the team, having been a finalist for Defensive Rookie of the Year in 2022. Despite his ups and downs with the Seattle Seahawks, Woolens advanced stats show him as one of the better corners in the league. His strengths lie in pass defense, but he has struggled with discipline issues and occasional lapses in focus and tackling. With Vic Fangio calling the defense, Woolen has the opportunity to thrive in Philadelphias talented secondary and prove himself in the NFC East.

On March 23rd, the Pittsburgh Steelers' 2022 NFL Draft Class is now completely gone from the roster. All seven picks from that year, selected under former General Manager Kevin Colbert, have moved on. From quarterback Kenny Pickett in the first round to late round guys like Chris Olodokin, none stuck around long-term. This offseason marked the final exit, with a wide receiver George Pickens traded to Dallas this year, and others like DeMarve and Leo released or signing elsewhere, including Calvin Austin, with a New York Giants and Connor Hayward in Las Vegas. Pickett went to Philadelphia last year, while Mark Robinson and Olodokin landed without Steelers' ties. Fans and analysts call it a disaster draft, especially as Colbert's farewell. It highlights rebuilding struggles, with the team now relying on later acquisitions to fill those spots from quarterback to linebacker. Looking back, a redraft using the same rounds and positions, spotlights mischances.

Malik Willis at quarterback Alec Piers at White Receiver, Khalil Shakir later on, and Brock Purdy in the seventh round, were all available and have, shown more promise. Steelers' nation still feels distinct, but these what ifs remind everyone how one-backed class can set a franchise back years. Stay locked in with NFL News Today, AI-powered updates.
