This I am not happy to hear
Free agent CB Byron Maxwell said he'd "definitely" consider signing with the Eagles.
Philadelphia seems like the overwhelming favorite for Maxwell. They play a ton of Cover 3 with a single-high safety, leaving their corners in man coverage on the outside. It's the scheme in which Maxwell excelled in Seattle. The Eagles are sitting on a pile of cash after ridding their roster of veterans this past week. Maxwell is expected to command $10 million per year.
I would have taken Maxwell in a heart beat.

Re: This I am not happy to hear
He considers ATL aswell. He is pretty high on them, at least thats what i read. Hes not set on Philly at all, i think. But then theres still Jackson and Flowers. The eagles will get one of the top corners, becasue they will pay a lot. Dallas should still be better than the eagles if they cant get a mariota
im bout dat action boss

Re: This I am not happy to hear
I don't get the love for Maxwell at all. I'm not saying he's not a good player, but he is playing next to 3 perennial Pro Bowlers in the secondary and on a team with a good pass rush too. Buyer beware. Giving Maxwell a $10M per year long term deal will be a big mistake IMO.

Honestly if I'm a defensive FA the ONLY reason I'd go to Philly is for the money. Whoever goes there is going to suck. That coaching staff gives their defense zero help. Their offense is coached to fly up and down the field. Ball control is nowhere in their vocabulary. I would bet that their defense spends more time on the field than any defense in the NFL. By the second half their defense is wore out.
As for them getting Mariota... I really hope they do trade up to get him. He's going to be an absolute bust in the NFL. He's got RGIII written all over him. All that running around will get him killed in the NFL just like it did with Griffin.

Well I disagree. He gets challenged all the time because of the other defenders. he plays man to man & succeeds every week. Someone will get a badass CB in my opinion. I get stuck watching seahawk football on a weekly basis. Would love to be paying him instead of paying Carr.

If you put a pass rush like that in front of Carr and you'll see a much different player than what we've seen. Not saying I want to keep Carr just saying that a dominant pass rush will make any corner light years better. Look at Terrance Newman since he's been in Cincy. He absolutely sucked ass while in Dallas yet has had a pretty good career in Cincy

Agree Maxwell has a great pass rush helping him and with Sherman on the other side the S can give Maxwell help too. Not saying Maxwell is not better than Carr, but I'll wait and see if he's all that. Lets see what he is with out all that talent around him. Plus Kelly might not be an Aderall pusher.

I totally agree brother, amen. I said the same thing last week but a Egal troll told me I knew more than Chip Kelly. If Chip gets his way he will sell the farm to get Mariotta and have a team full of Oregon Ducks playing in the smash mouth NFC east.

Been saying this for the past 2 seasons. The problem is not our Cb's, its the damn D-line and lack of production from the LBer's. t give a damn what the other guys say, I'm tired of Qb's getting 6 to 9 seconds to find an open receiver because we don't have Lb's that can cover and a D-line that has been useless getting to the QB.

If QBs are using 6 to 9 seconds we have the greatest cover LBs and DBs in history!

The most successful teams in NFL history were built from the inside out. If you can dominate the line of scrimmage your team will succeed. You need to make the QB forced to get rid of the ball before he takes that 4th or 5th step in his drop back. Most the time he will either make a bad decision or be forced to take the sack.

Pounding that into Jerry's head is another story.

Totally agree. DL is our most pressing need IMO.
