if this blows up in their faces during the season and these young WRs don't produce and it's just going to be another free excuse for the Alex defenders here. I'm over it, bring on the Mahomes era, don't care who hes throwing to

They should've atleast asked him to take a pay cut..our WR's are going to suck again. If they think Hill or Conley can be a #1 they're crazy.

Oh well.

Alex has shown that he can neuter even the best WRs and a 30 year old Maclin wasn't likely to help Mahomes much anyway.

Bye bye mu trash.

Or the Broncos listen to his presser and Maclin say "I've always wanted to be a Bronco and I get to play the Chiefs twice a season"

I'm pretty sure Dorsey has drafted at least one wide receiver every year he's been the Chiefs GM and two of those picks are locks to be starters this season. Reports are Robinson is looking good in shorts at OTAs and much more comfortable with the offense and Chesson has a ton of natural ability. I'm sure the two of them an replace Maclin's 532 yds and 2 tds from last season and do it at about 10% of the cost.

I love Maclin, but I'm not at all surprised.

LMAO Maclin wouldn't crack the line up in Denver.

Dorsey is showing a ruthlessness that Bellichick has. Maclin's production was way down. Dane is exactly right: the timing of this pretty much guarantees that OTAs showed Maclin's injuries have caught up with him. His lack of production last year and his high salary cap numbers made him expendable.

If he had a $1.5M contract, I expect he'd still be here. But with Hill, Conley, Chesson and Kelce, KC didn't want the salary cap fat. This was a good move by Dorsey.

It not only gives us cap room but it sends a signal to the other players that there is one thing that keeps them in a KC uniform: production. Good motivation to other players.

Watch him go to the Pats

Bad in college, bad in preseason.

I'm bummed, but he never really lived up to expectations. Oh well.

smart move. no reason to pay a wr that much money only to have the qb check down. they realized alex is not making reads downfield. you can pay someone else a lot less to run wide open downfield.

Theres the Cheaps I know

I get it from a financial perspective. Pretty savage from a personnel perspective. Dude put off his honeymoon for OTAs. You think with a veteran like him they'd have given up more of a heads up, but maybe they did.
