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.
