Should the Eagles try to sign Jeremy Maclin?

The Philadelphia Eagles didn't want to lose Jeremy Maclin two years ago in free agency, after Maclin put up career highs (at the time) in catches (85), receiving yards (1318), and TDs (10). In fact, they made a him a pretty good offer, however, the Kansas City Chiefs made a better one, and geographically speaking, allowed Maclin to return to Missouri, where he grew up.

It's looking like Philadelphia will not be hosting the 2018 NFL Draft

You would be hard-pressed to find a negative review of the city of Philadelphia's role in hosting the 2017 NFL Draft back in April. And yet, the NFL appears to be packing it up and bringing it elsewhere in 2018.

June 1 (tomorrow) is an interesting date for the Eagles, in terms of trading players

In most NFL teams' offseasons, the date "June 1" comes and goes, and nobody bats an eye. This year, that date is an interesting one for the Philadelphia Eagles.

In the Philadelphia Eagles' seven wins in 2016, they had 20 sacks, or just under three per game. In their nine losses, they only had 13 sacks, or right around one and a half per game.
