Woolen should be the perfect fit for the Eagles young and exciting secondary.
The Eagles made an unexpected splash ahead of the official start of free agency and came to an agreement with free agent cornerback Tariq Woolen on a one-year deal worth “up to” $15 million. He knows what it takes to win a Super Bowl, and will be able to keep that mentality in Philadelphia.
Immediate reactions to the move were excitement and appreciation for what he’ll add to the cornerback room alongside Quinyon Mitchell and Cooper DeJean. The group instantly becomes one of the “stickiest” in the league, and should compensate for any drop off from losing guys like Jaelan Phillips and Nakobe Dean.
Even former Eagles captain Darius Slay was supportive of the move.
Here’s what reporters and insiders from around the league were saying about this signing by Howie Roseman and Co. and how Woolen will fit into the Eagles’ secondary:
