Philadelphia lands a quality starter-level corner in a smart one-year prove-it deal. All five major outlets covered the signing, framing it as a strong positional upgrade for the Eagles. Woolen's elite athleticism and ball-hawking ability are the strongest indicators this move pays dividends. Fans are buzzing about pairing Woolen opposite Darius Slay, forming a suddenly dangerous cornerback duo. If Woolen stays healthy, expect him to earn a multi-year deal and anchor Philadelphia's secondary deep into the playoffs.

This signing grades out as a great value signing for the Philadelphia Eagles — the team is getting significantly more on-field production than what they're paying for. Riq's on-field performance ranks in the middle of the pack among NFL CBs, grading him as a serviceable starter at the position. His $12.0M average annual value ranks as bargain money for the CB market. The value equation works strongly in the team's favor — they're getting serviceable starter production at bargain cost, which is the kind of financial efficiency that builds roster depth. Riq is squarely in his prime, which adds to the deal's upside — the team should get multiple productive seasons out of this contract. The one-year deal minimizes the team's financial risk, effectively making this a prove-it contract.
