Soon to be free-agent wide receiver Jeremy Maclin addressed his impending free agent status Saturday and talked about his desire to remain an Eagle.
Jeremy Maclin will be a free agent when the NFL league year opens on March 11th, but that doesn't mean he is looking for real estate outside of the Philadelphia area.
During the Philadelphia Soul tryout Saturday at the Novacare Complex, Maclin addressed his contract situation and impending free agency.
"I've always stated this is where I want to be. The Eagles have stated the same thing," Maclin said Saturday at the NovaCare Complex before tryouts for the Soul of the arena league. "We'll continue to get on the same page with all that and just get something done."
The fifth-year receiver says he is optimistic about returning in time to take the field with his teammates later this spring, after tearing his ACL during training camp last July.
"Training camp is no question," Maclin said. "OTAs, I'll be able to run around and stuff, probably just without contact. I'm in a very good place at this stage of my rehab."
