The Philadelphia Eagles have just agreed to terms with first round pick Jeremy Maclin.

The deal is believed to be a six-year deal worth $23 million. This all is according to the Twitter page of a Mizzou athletics blog called The Columns.

No one else is reporting the deal, so it may or may not be true. A blog covering where the wide receiver used to play his college ball may not be the best source.

However, if the deal has gone down, it would mean good things for the Eagles, who would then only have LeSean McCoy to worry about.

This also eliminates any possibility of a holdout from Maclin, as we have seen with first round picks in the past.

Stay tuned. If any other source talks about this, an update will be made.

 

UPDATE: The same blog is now reporting that no deal has been agreed to, but the deal should be in the ballpark of the six-year, $23 million area.

Some news is better than no news, right?
