Eagles notes: Team explored adding Jeremy Maclin

Before Jeremy Maclin signed with the Baltimore Ravens, Eagles coach Doug Pederson called the former Eagles Pro Bowler.

The two spoke on Saturday, two days after Pederson said at a news conference that the Eagles had no interest in signing Maclin. When Maclin remained available, the Eagles explored the possibility of a reunion.

"Just wanted to see where he was at," Pederson said. "Talked it over with the staff and just wanted to find out what Jeremy was thinking and how he could possibly fit."

Pederson said the conversation did not go beyond that point. Although the Eagles offer connections to Maclin - he played six years in Philadelphia and Pederson was his offensive coordinator in Kansas City - the Ravens can offer him more playing time.
