Woolen agreed to terms Tuesday on a one-year, $15 million contract with the Eagles, Adam Schefter of ESPN reports. Woolen entered the league as a fifth-round pick in 2022 and started 46 of 48 games through his first three seasons, registering 41 pass breakups and 11 interceptions in that stretch. Although he started just seven games in 2025, Woolen still averaged 51.0 defensive snaps per game and recorded 41 tackles (33 solo), 12 pass breakups and an interception. Woolen is an unmatched athlete who has shown some flaws as a tackler, but he should be a sturdy addition to the Eagles' secondary nonetheless.

Riq Woolen: Breaking News
Good to go for divisional round
Woolen (oblique) does not carry an injury designation into Saturday's NFC divisional-round game against the 49ers, Brady Henderson of ESPN.com reports. Woolen was limited in the first two practices of the week due to an oblique issue, but he faded an injury designation for Saturday's game after logging a full practice Thursday. The fourth-year pro ended the 2025 regular season with 41 tackles (33 solo) and 12 pass defenses (one interception) across 16 games.
Dealing with oblique issue
Woolen (oblique) was a limited participant in Tuesday's practice, John Boyle of the Seahawks' official site reports. The Seahawks were on a bye for the NFC wild-card round, so Woolen may have picked up the injury against the 49ers in Week 18, when he logged two tackles (one solo) and one pass defense. The fourth-year pro will have two more opportunities to increase his practice participation ahead of Saturday's divisional-round clash against San Francisco.
