    Riq Woolen and Johnny Mundt? The Eagles Are on the Board!

    Sheil is joined by Zach Berman of The Athletic to discuss Day 2 of the NFL’s legal tampering period and the moves the Eagles have made. The Eagles landed Super Bowl LX champion and former Seahawks cornerback Riq Woolen on a reported one-year deal. What’s his expected role in the secondary? The Eagles also signed veteran tight end Johnny Mundt and re-signed tight end Grant Calcaterra, but they still need to add an elite-level pass-catching tight end. With the Patriots signing Rome Doubs, what is the likelihood that A.J. Brown could become a Patriot? Plus, did Zach let his son get the Cooper DeJean haircut?
