The Philadelphia Eagles have built a reputation for finding studs in free agency at the right price, especially when it comes to players looking to reestablish or fix their market value.<\/p>\n
Their latest move involving Tariq Woolen has caught the attention of many for just that reason.<\/p>\n

Philadelphia signed Woolen on a one-year deal, a move that makes sense for both sides. The talented corner previously made a name for himself with the Seattle Seahawks, but he also struggled a bit last season.<\/p>\n
Now, he\u2019ll have the opportunity to prove himself again in a new environment that many believe is ideal for a bounce-back season.<\/p>\n
Among those hyping up the move was ESPN insider Adam Schefter, who believes Woolen\u2019s decision to sign a short-term deal in Philadelphia could end up paying off in a big way.<\/p>\n

In Woolen\u2019s case, the Eagles may provide exactly that opportunity to get paid next offseason.<\/p>\n
Philadelphia\u2019s defense has been one of the more aggressive and best units in the game. With an elite defensive line and a staff that gets the best out of its guys, the situation should give Woolen the chance he needs to return to form.<\/p>\n
\u201cThat\u2019s the smart play by Tariq Woolen, because if you\u2019re not getting the type of long-term deal in free agency with the money you want. Then you go take a one-year deal with an organization where you feel like you can shine. He set himself up with Philadelphia, with a good payday, a good [one-year] contract. If he comes in and plays the way he is capable, a year from now he [could] sign a four-year $90 million contract. That\u2019s the goal, he\u2019s got a lot on the line, he\u2019s got a lot of motivation. He\u2019s in the right system, with the right coach, and I think it is going to work out well,\u201d he said<\/a>.<\/p>\n Advertisement<\/p>\n For Woolen, the deal is a prove-it one. A good season with the Eagles will help his value when he returns to free agency. For Philadelphia, the deal should help with what it is looking to do as well.<\/p>\n He should be more than good at getting to where he needs to be.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"The Philadelphia Eagles have built a reputation for finding studs in free agency at the right price, especially…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":539523,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[436],"tags":[7580,49,48,14108,514,1518,1747,1739,82,95778],"class_list":["post-539522","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-nfl","tag-adam-schefter","tag-ca","tag-canada","tag-free-agency","tag-nfl","tag-philadelphia","tag-philadelphia-eagles","tag-seattle-seahawks","tag-sports","tag-tariq-woolen"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/539522","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=539522"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/539522\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/539523"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=539522"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=539522"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=539522"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
