The Philadelphia Eagles are looking to land top free-agent cornerback Byron Maxwell, FOX Sports 1's NFL insider Mike Garafolo reports.

Maxwell and the Eagles are closing in on a deal valued at $63 million over six years with $25 million in guarantees, per Garafolo.

Maxwell, 27, began his career with the Seattle Seahawks and was a full-time starter at cornerback for them last season.
