The Chiefs weren't getting a 27 year old Maclin that put up 1,088 yards in 2017. He's 29 and declining rapidly. It's also clear that the Chiefs thought that their younger guys are capable of filling the 530 yard void left by releasing Maclin.
The bottom line is that this move allows the young guys, be it Chesson, Robinson or even Seantavious Jones, an opportunity to step up and contribute.
I think this move has very little, if any, negative impact to the offense.

I think it's completely fair to say that Maclin would be better in NE than Robinson who has proven nothing.
But I give credit to Dorsey here. This has all the makings of the Steven Nelson development last season. Let the vet (Sean Smith) go and trust your staff to develop a talented player.
Dorsey has been right about young players over and over and over again. Chris Jones, Dee Ford, Tyreek Hill, Steven Nelson.
Dorsey has earned my trust
