Woolen's Fresh Start: Seahawks Lose Coverage Specialist

0:00On March 15th, the Seattle Seahawks are dealing with some tough losses in free agency after their Super Bowl push last season. Among the four key players who left is Cornerback Rick Wullen, who just signed a one-year deal with the Philadelphia Eagles. Earlier this week, Wullen inked that short-term contract despite his talent as a coverage specialist. The Seahawks originally took a chance on him as a 5th round pick back in 2022 when few teams showed interest. Wullen and Seattle remember his rookie year standout performance tying the league lead with six interceptions. But inconsistency held him back, especially against the run and in big moments, like that early season lost to the 49ers. Now with Philly, Wullen gets a fresh start and a shot at proving himself in 2026 against his old team. Eagles fans might demand more steady play than Seahawks supporters did. Seattle has a name to replacement yet, and could look to the upcoming draft for long-term help at Corner, keeping their defense sharp moving forward.
