Lions consider trade for Eagles cornerback Riq Woolen amid rebuild

The Detroit Lions are reportedly weighing a trade for Eagles cornerback Riq Woolen, who is 6-foot-4 and plays better in man coverage than in Philadelphia's system. Woolen is in the last year of his contract, which poses a dilemma for the Lions regarding the potential cost and whether to treat him as a rental. Sources indicate that the Eagles might seek a third- or fourth-round pick for Woolen, who has struggled this season with a Pro Football Focus grade of 60.5. This comes as the Eagles appear to be moving toward a rebuild, having recently traded center Cam Jurgens and right tackle Lane Johnson's unexpected retirement. Without establishing a long-term solution at cornerback, general manager Brad Holmes must consider the implications of a mid-round pick trade with Philadelphia.
