Chiefs Free Agent CB Byron Maxwell - Possible Help

T-post Tom · 04:57 PM

Seattle Seahawks

Maxwell was drafted with the 173rd overall pick in the sixth round of the 2011 NFL Draft by the Seattle Seahawks with a pick they acquired from the Detroit Lions after a trade for defensive end Lawrence Jackson. He saw time in nine games of his rookie season, mostly on special teams. His second season in the NFL saw slightly more action, while still only playing in nine games, Maxwell amassed 14 tackles, four pass deflections, one forced fumble, and one fumble recovery. In 2013, he was named the starting cornerback opposite Richard Sherman after Brandon Browner was suspended for a year for substance abuse, and became the new fourth member of the Legion of Boom. In Super Bowl XLVIII, Maxwell forced a fumble in the third quarter that helped seal the victory for the Seahawks. He finished the Super Bowl with four tackles.

As a full-time starter at cornerback for the 2014 Seahawks, Maxwell played in 13 games, missing three weeks with a strained calf. Maxwell recorded 39 tackles, two interceptions, and 12 passes defended. He intercepted Aaron Rodgers of the Green Bay Packers in the NFC Championship game, helping in a 28-22 overtime victory that propelled the Seahawks to a second straight Super Bowl. In Super Bowl XLIX, Maxwell recorded five tackles, as the Seahawks lost 28–24 to the New England Patriots and failed to repeat as champions.

Philadelphia Eagles

On March 10, 2015, the Eagles and Maxwell agreed to a six-year, $63 million contract. Maxwell finished the season with 64 tackles, two interceptions, two forced fumbles, and 10 pass deflections. Maxwell allowed only two touchdowns all season, both to wide receiver Julio Jones of the Atlanta Falcons in the first game of the season, where he allowed nine catches on 11 targets. He missed the final two games with a shoulder sprain that he sustained against the Arizona Cardinals.

Miami Dolphins

On March 9, 2016, the Eagles traded Maxwell, linebacker Kiko Alonso, and a first round draft pick to the Miami Dolphins in exchange for the Dolphins' first round draft pick in the 2016 NFL Draft. The pick, which was for the 13th overall pick, was eventually used on offensive tackle, Laremy Tunsil. He started 13 games in his first year in Miami, recording 53 tackles, two interceptions, and a career-high 15 passes defensed.

On October 24, 2017, Maxwell was released by the Dolphins. (Injured hamstring and fell out of favor. Reportedly in good health. Worked out for Falcons today. Sure he would like an opportunity for competing offers.)
