BILL DAVIS has been an NFL assistant since 1992, which happens to be just before free agency descended upon the league.
Since then, he has seen his share of big-money free agents fail to live up to expectations. He has watched them desperately try to live up to the number on their contract rather than just trying to be the best player they can be.
Which brings us to Byron Maxwell.
In March, the 27-year-old cornerback signed a six-year, $63 million free-agent contract with the Eagles. That's a lot of money to give to a guy with 17 career starts.
