Chiefs PFT Interview: Maclin learned of release by voicemail from Dorsey - Page 3

You can tell he lost all respect for Dorsey with his tone. Kind of a shitty way to do it, but it is what it is.

Here's the clip of @jmac___19 talking about his release from the Chiefs https://t.co/4ANCbAzWRl

I see. I was unaware that you could designate someone a June 1 cut early. Does the team still carry a players cap number until June 1 and can that player immediately start looking for and sign a new deal? Either way it does make it look a little shittier, but maybe they were unsure up until after seeing him work during the OTA's.

Rationalize it how you want but firing someone from a voicemail sounds unprofessional and is a shitty thing to do.

It's the Corporate Champ now. And I heard Maclin was at the airport when he found out so he might have been on a plane when Dorsey called https://t.co/lkv5CZiWuC

I wouldn't be surprised to see Maclin have a rebound year, but honestly i think he's done, even if he does have a rebound year.

He had no fire last season. In '15 the dude was fighting with DB's every game. He played with swag and attitude.

'16 he had NO fire. He wasn't combative. He seemed to be going through the motions.

He got paid. Then he got married. I think the guy feels settled and accomplished. That's how you lose the fire.

Nobody here gives a shit what some donkey dickbag like yourself thinks. Please kill yourself.

He caught like 45 passes last year and was seriously outplayed by a rookie. The only thing surprising to me is the anyone (including him) was surprised.

I guess that it's better than finding out on the internet like Gunther did. Lol

Wow, are you a writer for that show? Right on, exactly how it would be said.

Boo ****ing hoo. Which Royals players were the ones who lost parents during the 2014 or 2015 season and still went out there and did their ****ing jobs? **** Maclin.

PAChiefsGuy · 06-15-2017, 04:34 PM

I can understand why Maclin would be upset but he will get over it in time. I don't think it is as big of a deal as people are making it out to be. I think it is a little surprising that Reid didn't call or text him being as though they are friends. Maybe it was just too hard for Reid to do?

That said there's no right way to fire someone, it's never easy and in my experience no matter what way you do it the person getting fired is going to get pissed.

He was the 10th highest paid WR and ranked #92...

Reid called him after he was released
