Overview
- Woolen is still on the Eagles’ roster after signing a one-year, fully guaranteed contract in March 2026 and has started all seven games this season with 27 tackles and six pass breakups.
- He struggled in Philadelphia’s 38-21 loss to Dallas and declined to speak with reporters after the game, a development that has amplified questions about his play.
- Philadelphia’s 2-5 start and losses of key offensive players have shifted roster discussions toward selling expiring contracts to gain draft capital before the November deadline.
- Media trade proposals differ sharply on Woolen’s price, with The Athletic suggesting a sixth-round pick to send him to the Chicago Bears and ClutchPoints recommending a conditional 2027 fourth-round pick plus a 2027 sixth-rounder to reunite him with the Seattle Seahawks.
- Woolen’s Super Bowl-season upside and his modest 2026 cap hit make him a logical short-term target, but teams and analysts disagree on how much draft compensation the Eagles can realistically get for a one-year veteran who has shown recent inconsistencies.
