Shannon Sharpe urges the Eagles to cut ‘hothead’ who makes too many mistakes

Shannon Sharpe has urged the Philadelphia Eagles and general manager Howie Roseman to cut cornerback Riq Woolen. Speaking on the Nightcap show, Sharpe criticized Woolen for committing costly penalties, calling him a hothead who makes too many mistakes and wastes a roster spot. He argued that Philadelphia will not re-sign the defensive back after the season.

The Eagles sit at the bottom of the NFC East with a 2-6 record heading into Week Nine following a defeat to the Washington Commanders. Philadelphia acquired Woolen earlier in the year from the Seattle Seahawks, but Sharpe believes his repeated errors and lack of discipline make him expendable.
