Byron Maxwell


Feb 20, 2015, 12:05 PM

What is cornerback Byron Maxwell's value on the market? I would say around $5 million or $6 million per year. But with a cornerback class coming in that lacks depth, Maxwell could see that number jump up to $8 million or even $9 million, given his ability to play press-man outside of the numbers.

"It would be hard to see him (Maxwell) leave, but I would think his market will be pretty strong," Seahawks general manager John Schneider said Thursday.

Based off the film from 2014, press-man technique in the NFL is poor right now, overall. There are too many cornerbacks who open the hips, fail to use their hands and chase instead of challenging receivers on the release. That leads to big plays outside of the numbers and penalties down the field as defensive backs panic at the point of attack. That's when we see guys grab, pull, etc., because they are beat.

Maxwell might not be a true No. 1 cornerback on some rosters in the NFL, but given his ability to play press and compete on the outside, he should get paid some good money this offseason as a free agent. NFL coaches want corners who can win at the line of scrimmage. That's what you get with Maxwell.
