Eagles Land CB Riq Woolen From Seahawks to Strengthen Secondary

Overview

• Woolen finalized his free‑agent move from Seattle to Philadelphia and spoke at his introductory press conference.
• He said he is focusing on the mental side to cut down on taunting penalties after acknowledging his passion can get out of control.
• The cornerback expressed excitement about pairing with Quinyon Mitchell and Cooper DeJean, noting prior familiarity with Mitchell from training in Florida.
• He described himself as a sticky, take‑chances press defender, a profile that aligns with the Eagles’ frequent man coverage.
