Cornerback Byron Maxwell is expected to be a popular man when teams are allowed to start talking to impending free agents this weekend and plenty of speculation about which team will be hottest on his trail has centered on the Eagles.
Philadelphia is in serious need of help at corner and their recent moves to clear out a lot of cap space hasn’t done anything to stop people from connecting the dots with Maxwell. Maxwell’s comments during an appearance on CSN Philly won’t slow things down either.
“Their stye of defense is very similar to what we play in Seattle,” Maxwell said. “Lot of man-press, cover 3. They allow their corners to play and get physical. Their scheme definitely fits me.”
Maxwell said he’s only heard good things about Philadelphia from the fans to the cheesesteaks. If he hears more good things from the Eagles over the weekend, he might be heading there for a heavy dose of both.
