I think this would be a #2 CB upgrade with McKelvin either headed out and Graham taking over or Graham to FS and McKelvin moving to #3 CB.

He improves the defense day one.

Agreed. There were Revis rumors and maybe when we knew we wouldn't get him we moved on to other CB options.

I wouldn't be surprised at all if we made a significant signing at CB. It could come with a McKelvin release though. The Bills would save 2.9 mill if they cut McKelvin.

Mckelvin prob has trade value - wouldn't need to cut him outright

It would surprise me - their 2014 offensive performance was wanting.

Re: Rumor: Bills interested in CB Byron Maxwell

Maxwell will be very expensive, even though I like him. At least $8-$9 million per year. That's approaching Richard Sherman money.

If we cut Mckelvin, I might be fine with it. At the least, I would rather pay that money to Maxwell than to Hughes.

Regardless, I don't know how good of a move it would be long-term. What do we do with Gilmore's contract next year? Is Maxwell worth $5 million more per year than McKelvin?

I'd rather the Bills sign Maxwell than Hughes.

Re: Rumor: Bills interested in CB Byron Maxwell

Yeah, no thanks. We need a replacement for Brooks, not Gilmore, McKelvin or Graham and that guy can come from almost anywhere and be had cheap. Don't like them even sniffing around top dollar corners this off-season.

Re: Rumor: Bills interested in CB Byron Maxwell

Rex needs a top flight corner to run the type of defense he likes to run.

Whether or not Maxwell is truly elite is a matter of opinion but he's better than Gilmore.

Top flight corners cost a lot of $ and cap, though.

Re: Rumor: Bills interested in CB Byron Maxwell

No way this happens, the Bills won't outbig the likes of Jacksonville which is where I bet he lands.

Same me system bigger money for him in better weather

Yahoo's Rand Getlin reports the Eagles are "definitely out in front" for free agent CB Byron Maxwell.


As inferior Kareem Jackson landed $8.5 million annually to stay in Houston, Maxwell should easily push for $10 million per year. Expected to be extremely active this week, the Eagles could conceivably have both Maxwell and Devin McCourty locked up by Tuesday evening. Word on the street has Philly going all in on free agency and selling their draft for Marcus Mariota.

If that's their plan, Kelly will be unemployed come this time next year.

Re: Rumor: Bills interested in CB Byron Maxwell

Maxwell could be looking for $12 million per year per Philly.com

The question is, how interested ($$) are the Eagles? Maxwell is looking for somewhere in the $10-12 million a year range, according to a source close to the situation. Will Kelly want to bid that high for a cornerback who seemingly fits the Eagles' defensive scheme and the coach's size and age requirements, but has only 17 career NFL starts?
