Are the Seahawks going to re-sign him? He played very well for us again, after flaming out in Philadelphia and Miami.

Maxwell knows the scheme. He doesn't get beat a lot. He's a great tackler. And he's a proven ballhawk.

Griffin/Maxwell/Coleman could be a good CB group.

Love Maxwell, but old guys with their best ball behind them aren't guys you re-sign during a youth movement.

Every good team needs a mix of veterans and young upstarts. New England is consistently the oldest team in the league; they have found that cheap veterans (a la Byron Maxwell) are usually more physically developed and better prepared than the typical rookie.

We somewhat need Maxwell back, but it will depend on cost. I don't see them throwing more than 3-4M at him tops. Going young there and saving the $$ to next years cap may well play into these decisions. I think they are going hard at 2019 personally, and cap rollover $$ is a part of that working.

He was great for us last year. Not sherman great but better then when he played opposite of Sherman.

Maxwell is a little bit of a "low miles" player because his first year he only played 9 games mostly on special teams, and he also played only 9 in his second year.

But more importantly, he works in our defensive scheme. He didn't work in Philadelphia, or Miami, but he was good here before he left, and good when he came back. I think he's currently better than Coleman, and considering we just lightened our CB budget by a fair bit, we should be able to afford him.

He does tend to let the receiver catch the ball, but is a sure tackler and quite adept at forcing fumbles. He has 11 forced fumbles to match the 11 INTs in his career. Has decent size and speed. He has had some ankle and hamstring issues in the past couple years, but I'd certainly give him a 1-2 year deal until we find a sure replacement.

I like BMax a lot because he is scrappy and excels in our scheme. With the loss of Sherman I think it would be a very good idea to retain him.

B max is a patriots style player in the sense that he only works in the Seahawks system and no where else.

Maxwell was is always in the right place to win the tip drill causing turnovers. He looked like his old self last year. I hope he stays. We have Coleman, Maxwell, Thomas and Shaq Griffin. The cupboard is not bare.

Give him $2-4m and bring him back please. He knows the system and he can help lead by example.

You're assuming our defensive scheme will remain the same.

Brave soul.

The only CB of those we have right now is Shaq. Coleman should be back as a RFA.

And Coleman is overrated. Getting pick-sixes against Jacoby Brissett and a terrible decision by Dak Prescott doesn't make one a Pro bowler. He's also largely a slot corner.

of course it will stay the same. It will be the same scheme as long at Pete is the coach.
