Philadelphia Eagles cornerback Kelee Ringo. <\/p>\n
The Philadelphia Eagles<\/a> have given cornerback Kelee Ringo<\/a> every opportunity under the sun to establish himself as a full-time starter \u2014 nothing seems to take.<\/p>\n The Athletic\u2019s Zach\u00a0<\/a>Berman<\/a> thinks\u00a0Ringo might still have value for the Eagles \u2014 as a trade piece.<\/p>\n Ringo, a 2023 4th-round pick (No. 105 overall), has played in every regular-season game and playoff game for the Eagles over the last 3 seasons, including a Super Bowl win following the 2024 season.<\/p>\n Berman included Ringo on his 53-man roster projections for 2026 \u2014 with an asterisk.<\/p>\n \u201cRingo earns a roster spot as a special teams contributor, although he\u2019s also a trade candidate,\u201d Berman wrote on July 31.<\/p>\n Pro Football Focus graded Ringo out at 55.3 overall in 2025 \u2014 putting him 88th out of 114 eligible players at his position. While that makes him 1 of the NFL\u2019s worst corners on paper, teams are seemingly always desirous to add players off winning teams. Which means there might be a trade market for Ringo, who is in the final year of his 4-year, $4.66 million rookie contract.<\/p>\n Winning Part of Kelee Ringo\u2019s Football DNA<\/p>\n Whatever teams Ringo has been a part of during his football career to this point all have one thing in common \u2014 they win championships.<\/p>\n Ringo won a state championship at Saguaro (Arizona) High School on the way to becoming the nation\u2019s No. 1-rated cornerback recruit in 2020.<\/p>\n In college, Ringo won 2 College Football Playoff national championships at Georgia in 2021 and 2022, when he was an All-SEC pick and sealed the win over Alabama in the CFP National Championship Game with a 79-yard interception return for a touchdown in the fourth quarter.<\/p>\n Over Ringo\u2019s final 2 college seasons, the Bulldogs went 29-1.<\/p>\n Kelee Ringo Missed Chance to Take Over as Starter<\/p>\n There was a huge opportunity for Ringo \u2014 or anyone else \u2014 to take over the starting outside cornerback spot opposite NFL<\/a> All-Pro Quinyon Mitchell<\/a> in 2025.<\/p>\n \u201cThis coming offseason represents Kelee\u2019s best chance to win a starting job since his arrival,\u201d\u00a0Eagles Wire\u2019s Geoffrey A Knox<\/a> wrote in June 2025. \u201cHe\u2019s had to wait behind Slay and (Isaiah) Rodgers, but Vic Fangio and his defensive coaches will provide him with ample opportunity to win a starter\u2019s role. Nothing will be handed to him, and he knows that. \u2026 For Kelee, this coming training camp is as much about competition as it is cooperation. He\u2019s looking to slide his nameplate into one of those starting positions on the Eagles\u2019 depth chart.\u201d<\/p>\n After watching 1 cornerback after another try and fail to man the spot, the Eagles turned to free agency this offseason and may have found a gem in former Seattle Seahawks<\/a> cornerback and Super Bowl champion Riq Woolen<\/a>.<\/p>\n Woolen is playing on a 1-year, $12 million contract in 2026 as he tries to set himself up for a massive payday in 2027.<\/p>\n ESPN singled Woolen out<\/a> as the NFL\u2019s \u201cBiggest Surprise\u201d before training camp.<\/p>\n \u201cThe Eagles signed Woolen to a one-year deal worth up to $15 million\u00a0this offseason to solidify the corner spot opposite\u00a0Quinyon Mitchell,\u201d ESPN\u2019s Tim McManus wrote on June 22. \u201cHe has opened some eyes with his unique blend of size (6-foot-4, 210 pounds), speed and coverage skills. The highlight was an interception of a\u00a0Jalen Hurts<\/a>\u00a0throw during minicamp when he anticipated a throw to tight end\u00a0Dallas Goedert<\/a>, undercut the route and sped the other way with the pick.\u201d<\/p>\n \n\t\t\tTony Adame<\/a> covers the NFL for Heavy.com, with a focus on the Tampa Bay Buccaneers, Washington Commanders, Dallas Cowboys, Baltimore Ravens, Philadelphia Eagles and Denver Broncos.
