Maxwell's agent Alvin Keels, wrote on Twitter that a deal isn't done.
"A lot of chatter about Byron Maxwell to Philly," Keels wrote. "Is Philly interested? Yes. Is Byron Maxwell interested in Philly? Yes. Is it official? No."
Maxwell, 27, was a sixth-round draft choice out of South Carolina by the Seahawks in 2011.
He took over as a starter in the final five games of the 2013 season and had four interceptions.
