Overview
- Philadelphia officially signed Woolen on Thursday and introduced him at team headquarters, where he stressed playing with passion and said he has learned to celebrate with teammates after past taunting penalties.
- The contract carries a $12 million base value with up to $3 million in incentives, and OverTheCap notes the $12 million figure is used for compensatory-pick calculations.
- Analysts project an immediate upgrade to a cornerback group featuring Quinyon Mitchell and Cooper DeJean, citing elite man-coverage metrics from Next Gen Stats that include a 27.6% completion rate allowed on man targets last season.
- Seattle now has Devon Witherspoon and Josh Jobe as its only starting-caliber corners under contract and is evaluating low-cost options and draft avenues, with Woolen’s departure likely yielding a midround compensatory pick.
- Woolen, a former fifth-round pick and Pro Bowl rookie, posted a farewell message on Instagram thanking Seahawks fans and reflecting on his rise to a Super Bowl title in Seattle.
