ESPN Trade Pitch Sends Seahawks CB Riq Woolen to Eagles for Kelee Ringo

The pitch arrives as Philadelphia searches for a dependable third outside cornerback.

Overview

  • ESPN's Bill Barnwell proposed Philadelphia acquire Riq Woolen and a 2026 fifth-round pick from Seattle in exchange for Kelee Ringo and a 2026 fourth-round pick.
  • Barnwell framed the swap as a way to address the Eagles' shortage at outside corner across from Quinyon Mitchell and Cooper DeJean.
  • Woolen, a 6-foot-4 cornerback and 2022 Pro Bowler with six interceptions that season, has struggled recently with benchings and six penalties in five games and is in the final year of his contract.
  • Seattle-focused outlet Field Gulls criticized the proposal as unfavorable for the Seahawks, arguing the return would not make sense from their perspective.
  • Local reporting indicates the Eagles are weighing internal fixes, including moving Jihaad Campbell to edge and sliding Cooper DeJean outside, and are cautious about expensive rentals like Trey Hendrickson with the Nov. 4 trade deadline approaching.
