Woolen's Fresh Start: Seahawks Lose Coverage Specialist

On 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.
