Skips honeymoon to be at voluntary OTA


Gets' cut


Cuz Ch u efs

Yeah, good luck with that.

There has got to be more moves coming right?

There's no way we go into the season with a WRs group of Hill, Conley, Thomas, Wilson, Chesson, Turd squad.

That would be terrible.

I'm sure KC will really miss his < 3 catches for 32 yards and .11 tds per game. They won 12 games with Maclin providing basically nothing last year.

Awful move. F u dorsey

Terrible.

Exactly.

As others have said....no separation and drops increased. And I won't repeat the other "it doesn't matter" angle

I'm real nervous about our wide receivers. But then again Dwayne Bowe is our second best wide receiver ever so I'm used to being worried about our receivers.

When Mahomes is starting in two years we need to draft some legit dudes to catch the ball.

I'm surprised, but in a good way. I like it.

Time will tell come opening day. Lets see what the WR group looks like at that point in time. At this point I'm not going to lose any sleep over the move.

Alex doesn't throw to receivers anyway. I like it :)

Since it's post June 1st, doesn't that hurt us more in the future? If it were pre-June 1st, wouldn't we be eating more dead money in the current year, thus freeing up more space for the future beyond?

I don't understand this as a cap-saving move. I gotta think we're looking to acquire somebody. And I have no ****ing idea who it could be.

Huh?

Damn, this thread is moving faster than a GDT.

To chat!

How bad will it be when he ends up in New England?

T.O. is going to come back and save us

Wonder if they see something in Chesson.

Goddamn Dane is on fire. First Keivarae Russell and now Jeremy Maclin.

Dane, I will happily subscribe to your newsletter

That's the part that sucks. I'm fine with cutting him, but the timing of this was pretty shitty of the Chiefs if they truly did this as a cap-saving move.

The guy left Philly to play for a coach he liked, and he did so knowing he'd be taking a kick in the pants given who his QB is. And then for it to go down like this?

Charles was handled the right way. I think they could have done the same with Maclin.

Ouch

I don't know if I like the idea of making Hill the #1 guy. Hill's role was perfect last year, being a huge threat returning kicks and punts and playing WR. He was our own Antonio Brown now I imagine he will just play WR and our #2 will be the suck. Yeah Maclin wasn't great but teams still had to respect him.

spread out over this year and next year. Next year they are clearly cleaning house so it doesn't matter what cap they eat. All the vets eating cap space will be gone in 18.

Hopefully next year in the second round find a good WR.

Robinson is the one who there have been positive reports about, who knows though

Hill
Conley
Robinson
Wilson
Chesson

DAT better be ****ing cut next.

He won't be-- probably our starting kickoff returner and can do the gadget stuff that Hill does if he gets hurt. Just what I bet Reid is thinking.

I don't understand why we wouldn't try get something in a trade for him a 3rd or 4th round pick would have been fine or 5th and a cheeseburger.

Robinson is beyond dogshit as a WR.

I'm sure he'd be chomping at the bit to play with Smith throwing to him.

There is more to this than just a planned salary cap savings move IMO.

A failed drug test, something off the field, etc.

Usually these June 1st cuts are much more choreographed for high profile veteran players.

The fact Maclin was participating in all of the Chiefs OTA's, including yesterday's OTA suggests something sudden has happened that prompted the Chiefs to release him.

Holy shit, this has come out of left ****in' field.

No honeymoon after the wedding, I see.

I think it's pretty clear that this decision was made after two weeks of OTA's.

Love that Dorsey isn't afraid to make the team better by cutting dead weight players.

Truly opposite of typical chiefs.

Maybe they tried but his cap was to much.

I'm intrigued by how much they must like either Chesson or Robinson.

I liked Maclin but really doubt he frightened opposing defenses.

Because he played so much WR his rookie year. Get the **** outta here.

I doubt the Buccaneers will call him, but he would look pretty good in pewter and red with Winston throwing to him.

Champing

The sign of a great GM is his ability to realize when he's made a mistake and take action to remedy said mistake. Dorsey is the anti-Pioli.

You saw the Osweiler deal. Maclin's contract was cheaper and he's STILL a far better WR than Osweiler is a QB, but all that would do is negate the Chiefs having to pay other teams to take him.

In the age where even ****ing guards are consistently earning $10 million AAV deals in free agency, cash has got to be protected. Teams can't afford to lose picks AND money for negligible upgrades.

I understand the business move on this, and I support this move.

Would you want to pay $13.5 million to a receiver who only racked up 530 receiving yards? On top of that, he's 29, but plays like 32 years old, and reports from here saying that he wasn't getting much separation, and the drops kind of continue to be an issue?

The depth part may suck a little bit, but better now than wait later to figure out who you have to move forward in 2018.

Edit: Corrected the age. I initially thought he was 32, but I was wrong.

No team is giving up a 3rd or 4th for a 29 year old WR with an injury history like Maclin's.

Plus, the $13.5 million dollar cap hit?

I bet maclin gets signed quick and has an awesome year next year. Probably gonna be the ****ing Chargers or Raiders

he's 29, lol

What evidence do you have to back up yet another one of your stupid posts?

Worthless to argue with Rudy is a Dipshit

You're correct.

My bad. I don't know why I was thinking 33.

At least he plays like he's 33, going on 29 years old.

I was gonna say who would take the cap hit for a guy the Chiefs are trying to get rid of? We obviously need wide receivers.

I don't buy the drug test or whatever, he must be just slow.

Maybe our wide receivers need to be like, really open for Alex to throw to them and he wasn't getting close.

Odds he ends up with the Patriots or Broncos?

Tyler Bray has lasted longer on this roster.

Let that sink in.

The sign of a "great GM" would have also been to prepare the WR depth chart better this offseason if the plan was always to release the team's #1 and certainly most veteran/established WR.

One reason they might have waited was if they thought they could trade.

So it looks like KU fans were right all along

https://www.tenstickers.co.uk/wall-s...icker-8744.png

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.

I'm sure he'll go somewhere else and suck shit. Maybe he and Alex can reconnect in 2018 and really underwhelm the shit out of some hopeful fans.

I'd almost forgotten how stupid ku fan is.

True. Cut Smith and we can build a statue for him out front.

Reminds me of the Brandon Flowers release.

In the end, it will probably be the best thing for the team, and probably for Maclin, too.

:DIf the Donks pick him up I hope he says he always wanted to play for them

532 yards and 2 TD's would be more yardage and TD's than Robinson and Chesson have combined in the NFL so you are projecting completely unproven players to fill the void.

And Robinson was a complete non-factor last year... he couldn't get on the field at all at WR, despite the fact the Chiefs were banged up at WR at various times last year.

What part did I miss? The mu part? Was it the trash part?

Nope. Those work perfectly together.

Beautiful work. 10/10

More evidence this is a great idea: arrowhead Pride thinks it's a bad idea:

I'm surprised but not upset...Marlin has been a huge disappointment the past two seasons and was wasting cap space.
