That's an absolute steal for the Eagles if true. I'm containing my enthusiasm though until I see it finalized.

Or...

The Miami Dolphins are considering backing out of a trade agreed to earlier this week with the Eagles because of their concern about a shoulder injury suffered by cornerback Byron Maxwell, league sources told ESPN's Ed Werder and Chris Mortensen.

The Dolphins were to acquire Maxwell and linebacker Kiko Alonso from the Eagles for draft-pick compensation, but the trade was contingent upon Maxwell and Alonso passing physicals and could not be official before the league's new year opened at 4 p.m. ET Wednesday.

As of Tuesday night, sources said the Dolphins considered the trade dead because of their medical staff's concern over Maxwell's injury, which forced him to finish the 2015 season on injured reserve. If they go through with the trade, the Dolphins would be inheriting a huge contract for Maxwell, who signed a six-year, $63 million deal with the Eagles as a free agent last season.

That would be brutal for the Eagles. More than likely to make this happen the compensation will have to increase for Miami.
