Top Landing Spots For Riq Woolen if Eagles Trade Veteran CB

The Philadelphia Eagles saw their losing streak reach seven games after falling to the New York Giants this past weekend.

The 2026 season has been a complete mess for Philadelphia, with the team seeing injuries and inconsistent play take over. Philadelphia now holds a record of 2-7 for the year, with the team likely to miss the playoffs.

Due to how the season has gone, the Eagles could elect to be major sellers at the NFL Trade Deadline this week. One name that has been mentioned consistently is veteran cornerback Riq Woolen, who is on a one-year deal with the Eagles.

If the Eagles do end up moving Woolen before the trade deadline, here are three good landing spots for the veteran cornerback:

1. Seattle Seahawks

One option for Woolen could be his old team, the Seattle Seahawks, who allowed him to walk in free agency this offseason. Seattle is looking to get back to the Super Bowl this year, and adding more depth in the secondary could be a way to help out.

Woolen knows the schemes and system well from his time there, and it could be an almost seamless fit back. The Eagles could get some future draft assets, while the Seahawks bolster their chance for a repeat Super Bowl title.

2. Detroit Lions

The Lions have been desperately searching for help at the cornerback spot, and Woolen could fit in well. Detroit is trying to go after a Super Bowl title this season, but the defense has seen all sorts of injuries take place this year.

Woolen has been linked with the Lions in the past, and this could end up being one of the better landing spots for the veteran. The Lions need to make some sort of move, and the veteran could bolster the unit for the stretch run of the season.

3. Buffalo Bills

The Bills are one of the main teams across the league who is looking to add more depth across the defense. Buffalo's defense has been a problem this season, and the unit needs more to help with their Super Bowl quest.

Woolen could provide veteran leadership in the secondary for the Bills, giving them a lot more to work with the rest of the way. Overall, the veteran cornerback could go to a team contending for a title, while giving the Eagles something to build with for the future.
