Eagles HC: No Interest In Jeremy Maclin

It has been reported that the Eagles have interest in a reunion with Jeremy Maclin, but head coach Doug Pederson says that isn’t the case. Pederson told reporters that the team is not pursuing Maclin “at this time,” (Twitter link via NFL.com’s James Palmer). "<strong

Maclin spent his first five NFL seasons with the Eagles, but it doesn’t sound like a reunion is in the cards if Pederson is to be believed. Earlier this week, ESPN.com’s Adam Schefter heard that the Eagles have some degree of interest in signing him, so perhaps Pederson’s words should be taken with a grain of salt.

Even if the Eagles do want to add Maclin to the fold, they’ll have some stiff competition for his services. The Bills’ meeting with Maclin stretched into a second day and the Ravens, who met with Maclin on Wednesday afternoon, are making a hard pitch to add the wide receiver. The Browns, per Schefter’s aforementioned report, are also interested in Maclin.

The Eagles’ receiver group was disappointing in 2016 but the team is banking on free agent pickup Alshon Jeffery providing a boost in that department. Philly also signed Torrey Smith and added a pair of rookies – Mack Hollins and Shelton Gibson – in the draft.
