The Philadelphia Eagles need a top tier cornerback, and are willing to pay big for it. Byron Maxwell might have been a No. 2 with the Seahawks, but he’s expected to command star dollars on the open market.
Rand Getlin of Yahoo Sports is reporting that Philly is fine with paying Maxwell $10 million a season or more.
The #Eagles are currently willing to pay CB Byron Maxwell north of $10M per year, per a source. Top of the market.
