If's, nuts, candy, and buts; Mahomes will more than likely not see the field this season.
It would be Bray in your scenario.

Peters, Berry, Smith, Houston, Kelce are the leaders of this team in 2017. Going into 2018 without Smith and putting the keys in the hands of an inexperienced 22 year old seems a little premature and reckless.

Everything in that post is wrong. The financial move was necessary for this year, to sign picks and set up the emergency fund for when the seasons starts. If they were worried about next year that much, they wouldn't have made it a June 1 cut.

The names you listed as leaders are the reason why Mahomes can take over and be the guy next year. Because the talent and leadership is already in place to make the transition seamless. The kid will get to just go out there and play ball.

They want his future receivers to be experienced and proven, and this move allows for that.

How is cutting a guy who barely contributed last year a sign of mailing the year in? They didn't want to pay him. Pretty ****ing simple. It was the correct move.

Dude. Duuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuude.

Just let him revel in his make believe world of bullshit. He's been nothing but dead wrong since Reid and Dorsey cleaned his clock on draft day, and there is NO reason to believe that his fate will change.
Alex fans are experts in clinging to hope. It's what they do. Just sit back and watch this zoo's latest monkey fling his feces all over the wall before eating it.

Yes we should wait till 2019 to take the training wheels off

LOL

my god youre not even passable as a troll these days because the shit you spew is just so ****ing moronic

Even when looking at the moment, still doesn't make much sense to me. Surely Maclin would have been open to renegotiate

If there is yet another avenue to conjure up the "they have no confidence in a Smith-led Chiefs team for 2017, so they are mailing it in" mantra... you will read it here. :)

I'm not saying we are mailing it in.....but Maclin if he is healthy could be a 1 or 2 on alot of teams....including ours. If we had a legit shot at even a deep playoff run, we would pony up the cash..IMO

Yet you fail to mention that Maclin is off the books for next year outside of his dead money.

That's the problem the "could" in Dorsey's eyes was not worth the 10 mil to be saved by releasing him

He mentioned that, you just didn't understand it.

Maclin is off the books because Alex is too scared to throw the ball more than 10 yards pass the line of srimmage. Why pay big money for an ageing WR that won't get the ball anyway. Maclin got ****ed because of Smith.

Maclin didn't get ****ed. He just got a shit ton of money for doing nothing this year.

The Chiefs needed some cap room, though, and decided that the best way to get it was to dump an aging, injury-prone WR who probably wasn't going to be of much use anyway, not to Smith or to Mahomes next season.
