The Facts: For Eagles free-agent-to-be Maclin, a one-year deal is a realistic possibility. And he knows it. "I understand it could be a possibility that [the ACL tear] may scare some teams off, or a team may want to do a one-year deal as opposed to a long-term contract," Maclin said Monday. "That's the game, that's the business."

Diehards Line: Maclin tore the ACL in his right knee at the end of July and didn't play a single snap this season. But he's still regarded as one of the more intriguing free-agent wide receivers because of his speed, hands, first-round pedigree and the production he gave the Eagles from 2009-12 -- an average of 64 catches, 863 yards and six TDs. ... As CSNPhilly.com suggests, Eric Decker of the Broncos is the class of the free-agent WR market. Maclin fits into the next tier, with wideouts like Hakeem Nicks, Anquan Boldin, James Jones, Golden Tate, Emmanuel Sanders, Riley Cooper and Julian Edelman.
