- National media reacts to Eagles agreeing to a deal with CB Riq Woolen
Ahead of NFL free agency, we named five bold predictions, and the Eagles' landing Seahawks star cornerback Riq Woolen heading to Philadelphia was at the top of the list. After a quiet first day, Howie Roseman got his man, landing Woolen on a one-year deal worth up to $15 million for the athletic cornerback. Howie Roseman spoke at the combine and revealed Cooper DeJean would remain in the slot, while the hunt for a No. 2 cornerback would commence. We previously looked at players the Eagles would target if there were no salary cap, and one big name to monitor is Seahawks athletic cornerback Tariq Woolen.
He is a legitimate starting cornerback with All-Pro potential and doesn't turn 27 until May. His aggressive skills could allow Vic Fangio to be more flexible and more aggressive with his calls, and he'll give Quinyon Mitchell an opportunity to return to play just one side of the field.
