It's always disappointing when a Super Bowl championship is followed up with a much shorter postseason appearance.
That's what the Philadelphia Eagles recently experienced, and now they're trying to make the most of this offseason to earn a return to the big game.
The Athletic's Jordan Rodrigue spotted one signing in particular that could make the Eagles an even more dangerous squad in the 2026 NFL season: Riq Woolen.
Philly signed the big cornerback away from the Seattle Seahawks, and he joins what could be a dynamic secondary.
"Most interesting move**:** Signing cornerback Riq Woolen to a one-year deal worth up to $15 million," Rodrigue writes. "If pairing Woolen with Cooper DeJean (slot/safety) and Quinyon Mitchell (perimeter cornerback) works, this will be as dominant a secondary as there is in the NFL right now."

Eagles fans are also given a warning by Rodrigue. She thinks there isn't a team with more potential outcomes in 2026 than Philadelphia.
"To me, the Eagles have the highest variance of any NFL team in 2026," Rodrigue writes. "At their best or middle-best, though, they are a playoff team."
This still likely isn't a finished product, either.
There's an A.J. Brown potential trade looming over everything, and that could change multiple positions on the roster depending on the structure of the deal and the possible return.
But for now, the Eagles have at least started to make some inroads toward an improved roster. That could start on the defensive side with Woolen, an immense talent who could make some seriously good things happy for Philly.
