Well that's not true. I'd say Maxwell is easily a top 15 CB, possibly top 10NorthDallas40oz":26pf2mzt said:

He is a max effort guy and deserves to get paid. I hope we can find away to bring him back but if not we will adjust. Next man up gets the opportunity to be the next high dollar free agent corner every one wants to pay.
I'm with Kip on this.
Some are saying Maxi gets "burned" a lot.
I'd be curious to know the numbers.
If I had to wager a guess, I'd say that the %s are not that bad because of how much Sherm's side of the field gets avoided.
It's easy for me to see how, on the surface it may appear that Maxi gives up a lot but personally I think we will sorely miss him if he's leaves. Our secondary has evolved into a tremendous unit. The chemistry is almost perfect. It will be very hard to match the intangibles, either by draft or FA.
I HOPE WE KEEP HIM.
Hell I even wish we still had BB for the same reasons.

Yes, they said he was a priority, but also that they understood he was going to be tough to keep because he was going to have a good market. I fully expected it to be a Golden Tate situation: The Hawks say they want him back, they give him an offer that works for them, and then he goes away for a lot more money. Seattle never put up a fight for Golden, despite saying they wanted him back.
The fact that Seattle is putting up a fight is what is surprising to me, not that they are making him an offer.

Let Philly have him for that. Really hope Seattle isn't going into that range. I'd rather they put that money into a star at another position if they are going to spend that.

The Eagles are going to pay Maxwell like he's a Top 5 CB. If he's going to go away, at least he will be paid a lot, with a lot of guarantees. Would set us up nicely for a comp pick.

Good for Maxwell if this is true, I would love too have him back but not at that price. Your worth whatever someone will pay you and that money suggest Maxwell is a top 10 cornerback. If i'm a free agent DB, im taking a one year prove it deal with the Hawks and then cashing in the following year. Talent wise I love Simon, his health is what makes me nervous.

Not Top 10, that is Top 3-5 money. Eagles going all out and going to pay him like a star CB.

Hope that it's true... good for Maxi.
If true, the Eagles overpaid... by a LOT.

I like Maxwell but there's no way you pay top 3-5 CB money for him. It would have to be somewhat back loaded for Seattle to have a chance to keep him with cap numbers nowhere near 10 M/year.
You cannot pay a good player great player money.

Yes, you already said that earlier in this thread. Care to explain WHY you think he is overrated, instead of just saying that over and over?

Not sure how this is a bad deal for the Eagles....
If those numbers are true, it's essentially a two year deal that they can escape out of after 2016 if he fails. But they were slated to pay Cary Williams (garbage) 8.5M this year and Maxwell is a perfect fit for the Eagles Cover 3/Press Man scheme.
They have almost 60M in cap space. They are interested in Devin McCourty as well. If they can nab him as well and have a safety duo of McCourty/Jenkins, that's pretty rock solid. Not ET/Kam solid but still very solid.
Eagles finished 31st against the pass last year. If they even improve to the middle of the pack this year, that's gotta be good for two more wins.
It's also telling what his former coaches think of him as they're competing with the Eagles for his services in Atlanta & Jacksonville.
and yes, I am an Eagles fan living in Seattle so I'm just trying to bring a different perspective to this conversation.
