There might be some truth to this...it's hard to bench a veteran $10m WR that's underachieving. He was their FA prize two years ago. What ever was Maclin's issue last year, they obviously felt they could get similar production on the cheap going forward. He was brought in to offset Bowe's departure. I guess it played it's course. Hill made him expendable.
They must like what they are seeing out of Robinson in OTAs.
It's a very shrewd move..similar to how the Patriots roll. Most teams cut declining players a year too late or wont admit to a contractual mistake. The are gambling on the young WRs to step-up.
