But the guy who drafted him isn't there any longer. And, as a matter of fact, he's in Kansas City, where wide receiver is a primary need, since none of the current Chiefs at that position has a touchdown catch this season. Oh, and by the way, Maclin grew up in Missouri and played his college ball there.
If the Eagles don't get a deal done with Maclin sometime between Monday and the start of free agency,Cheap Jerseys Free Shipping, expect Maclin's first call to come from Andy Reid, his former coach and the current coach in Kansas City.
"Both sides have made it clear: They want me here and I want to be here," he said. "I think we can get something done."
"This is a great place to be," Maclin said. "I've always spoken well about the organization. ... Everything they've ever told me has been true. This is the place that drafted me. I want to end my career here."
"They might love to keep me,Jerseys NFL Cheap; they might not love to keep me. It's on them. This is the NFL. It is what it is,Cheap China Jerseys. I understand. I'm calm. Business is business. They've got to do what they've got to do."

The team has opened talks with Cole's backup, Brandon Graham, on a new deal and invested a No. 1 pick last year on another linebacker,Nike NFL Jerseys China, Marcus Smith. So at 32 years old, he may have to restructure his deal,NFL Jerseys Wholesale, if the team asks.
Cole is under contract next season, but at $10 million, twice the salary he earned this year. None of the money is guaranteed, although the Eagles would owe the linebacker a buyout believed to be over $1 million if he is released.
Wide receiver Jeremy Maclin, a former first-round pick and a six-year veteran, and linebacker Trent Cole, a two-time Pro Bowl selection and 10-year veteran, will be part of an interesting offseason for coach Chip Kelly and the Eagles.
NOTES: Cornerback Bradley Fletcher, who has had a rough season and struggled the last two weeks, is listed as questionable for Sunday's game with a hip injury.
"That, I don't know," Cole said. "I want to be here. I do. I certainly want to be here, retire here. It's a chance for me to be one of the first in Eagles history to be able to retire with just one team and also be one in the NFL to retire with one team. That's an accomplishment, but I understand things change all the time.
