Since that ankle injury against Houston, he has not been the same.

WhiteWhale 06-02-2017 05:50 PM

I doubt Maclin was anticipating this.

I'm not sure what this means. Maclin had a down year and his contract wasn't ideal, but we're not exactly deep at the position.

Was he bad at camp? Are young guys showing things to coaches that have inspired them to such a move? Was it simply a financial move?

Good God, can we please not make this into an Alex Smith bashing thread?

Kiimo 06-02-2017 05:50 PM

I really am shocked. He must be done.

NIUhuskies 06-02-2017 05:51 PM

Wow... was hoping this was going to be Albert Wilson's last training camp with the Chiefs. Guess not. #facepalm

The Franchise 06-02-2017 05:51 PM

So our top three are now:

Hill
Conley
Wilson

Yay.

I don't think Dorsey and Reid are packing it in or anything like that-- but I do think that they are probably looking to load up on more cap room before Mahomes takes over. Open up the door to sign whoever you want while he is cheap on the rookie deal.

If Maclin was a true #1 receiver (which he isn't) then having a veteran presence would only help Mahomes, not hinder him.

I didnt expect Maclin to be here in 18 anyway.

dirk digler 06-02-2017 05:51 PM

Didn't see that one coming

If that was the case, they could have cut him after the 2017 season.

Maclin looked like he was DONE in 2016.

I'm all in favor of this decision.

We have so much cap room come next season. Roughly 50 mil

Our top 3 could be Megatron, Julio Jones and Antonio Brown and it wouldn't really matter.

$13.5 million for 530 yards is a huge waste of cap space.

This....


We know Alex will be steady no matter who plays with him....

3300 yards, 17 TDs, 7 INTs.....

He never changes.....

Maclins production dropped significantly....Certainly too much to keep him around.

TigeRRUppeRRcut 06-02-2017 05:52 PM

Either one of chesson and Robinson are expected to pan out, my guess.

I think Robinson and Chesson both might be better than Wilson by the time camp hits.
