Back in 2009, the Philadelphia Eagles selected Missouri wide receiver Jeremy Maclin in the first round with the 19th overall pick. Maclin would then spend five seasons in Philadelphia before leaving the team to join the Kansas City Chiefs. At the time, Maclin’s departure was a bit puzzling. He would leave the team that drafted him, where he had much success, especially at the specific time of his contract year where he had his long Pro Bowl season in 2014.
The Eagles attempted to get Maclin back, but he had his mind made up rather quickly and went back to Andy Reid in Kansas City.
