Source: Seahawks reach 1-year deal with Byron Maxwell

The Seattle Seahawks have agreed to a one-year deal with cornerback Byron Maxwell a source tells ESPN's Adam Schefter.

The deal is worth up to $3 million.

The 30-year-old Maxwell finished an up-and-down 2017 season for the Seattle Seahawks on a high note by performing well as a fill-in for Richard Sherman.

Released by the Miami Dolphins in October after losing his starting job, Maxwell returned to the Seahawks in November after Sherman suffered a season-ending Achilles injury. He played the majority of his first game back after rookie right cornerback Shaquill Griffin suffered a concussion on the opening possession, and Maxwell remained in the starting lineup for the final six games, eventually replacing Jeremy Lane on the left side.
