That said, this is still a bit of a head-scratcher.

Oh no you didn't mention the QB!!! You're going to get banned if DeFace sees this post.


reported :D

We just need a WR that can catch screens and slants

Eleazar 06-03-2017 03:02 PM

jsp is right, we can argue about whether this hurts the team's non-existent super bowl chances for this season or about whether the team's poor cap situation made it necessary, but we can't argue about whether the Chiefs are better at WR today or not. They are worse. A player who would have been high on the depth chart was let go for nothing in return. Maybe the youngsters take over, but no one can honestly say this was addition by subtraction or any such thing.

Never really understood acquiring him to begin with considering Alex Smith is this team's QB, so it's hardly surprising to see this.

Can someone explain to me, please?

He's a moron.

Maclin isn't the difference between a Super Bowl in 2017 or no Super Bowl, so it was best to get rid of him now, rollover money into 2018 and get the younger players on the field.

The Chiefs still have weapons in Kelce, Ware and Hill. They have an ascending #2 (or #3, at worst) in Conley. If Hunt is the player he was in college, the offense will be even more dynamic and it wouldn't surprise me to see Ware, who's an excellent receiver, to line up in the slot from time to time with Hunt in the backfield.

Andy Reid will scheme around the loss of Maclin, just like he did last year.

This really screams to me that they dont think Alex can make it happen and dont really care about paying for weapons to support him.

Look at the draft.....and now this.

They are ****ing over it, just like everyone else..

Bye Alex..

Sure sounds like full on Rebuild Mode to me.

Did not pick up any impact FA's to make the team better, moved up to draft a QB in the top 10, now they are dumping cap.

Macklin cost you guys a draft pick because Reid CHEATED and now he is $7mill of dead space for the next 2 years.

Great moves for a single WC victory against a terrible team.

Loving this, just hope the Raiders or San Diego don't sign him.

Sammy ****ing Watkins trade/extension here we come

8 pages regarding Jeremy Maclin's release. That's impressive in and of itself.

He would be useless with Smith but Mahomes would get the best out of him for sure.

Broncos signed our trash bc they can't draft. Unless Denver falls into a HOF QB again they will be looking up to Chiefs and Raiders.

Who is going to protect reek from getting double teamed? Teams are going to have a guy hit him at the LOS then bracket him all day and take him out. There are a bunch of no named guys behind him they can match up man on man.

Ware wasn't great last year either. Still has yet to break off 1k in your system and his YPC (which kc fans loved when Charles was with you) dropped over a full yard last year, in a year where he was the featured back. Ware only had 3 TD's last year as well.

Full on rebuild mode if your hoping rookies are going to save you.

Too bad for Dorsey he can't fire Reid as well, he would be better off getting someone in who can design and call an O that has some balls.

It will get ugly if DJ and Houston cannot return to form, I think Houston has a chance but DJ is going to be a long shot with the injury he had.

Full on rebuild?

Offensive line... Young and all back.
TE... Young and back
RB... Same with upgrade
WR's... Pretty much same
QB... Same with upgrade

Defensive line... Solid and young
Secondary... Solid/young
LB's... Decent. Solid with/when injuries heal.

Transition would be far better word than rebuild. Transition to Mahomes from Smith.

Hammock Parties 06-03-2017 03:46 PM

I would trust this FO completely with releasing a veteran WR, BTW.

They knew Bowe was done, guessing they see the same indicators on Maclin's tape.

Meh...Demaryius Thomas has dropped off by 500 yards and 6 TDs from 2014.

Donkos have $21+ million invested this season in WRs that netted 10 TDs last year.

KC's 5th round pick generated more points than them combined...and had more receiving TDs than either of them in limited play.

I'm not even going to mention the fail at TE...

Enjoy the 4th place rebuild...
