Tyreek Hill offset Maclin's drop in production in 2016. Hill and Conley will both likely have to produce more this season to offset the loss because I'm doubtful that a handful of rookies and a 2nd year guy that could only muster 4 snaps are going to do it. I don't think that's a huge stretch to expect 800 yards each out of Conley and Hill and 200 yards out of a rookie, but it still has to happen just to break even. We'll see how it transpires, but I'm certainly not jumping up and down about this transaction at the moment.

I'm not happy about this either...there has to be an ulterior motive to this more than just saving money. 12-4 teams dont usually cut their #1 WR without having a contingency in place. While Maclin had a bad year, there really isn't anyone to take his place when he's healthy. He knows this system better than than any other WR on the roster.
I dont see how this makes the Chiefs a better team in 2017...
Kind of a raw deal to have him practicing out there in OTAs, risking injury, when they were going to cut him after June 1st. Dorsey did him dirty, IMO.
