The Eagles have prioritized retaining Jeremy Maclin before Riley Cooper as the wide receivers near free agency, according to NFL sources.
If all goes to plan, the Eagles will sign Maclin to a one-year contract and attempt to acquire another starting-caliber receiver via free agency. Cooper remains on the radar, and the Eagles could circle back if they don’t land another target, but securing Maclin will take precedence. There is a market for the 25-year-old Maclin despite the fact that he suffered a season-ending knee injury last July. But he will likely have to accept a prove-you’re-healthy one-year deal, something he has said he had come to terms with.
