A player who can make the kind of catch Maclin made on third and 20 in the playoff game last year is valuable to a team who is a SB competitor.
If this team legitimately thought it had a chance at the Lombardi they'd be holding on to Maclin to come up with that kind of catch in clutch situations, but why bother?
We aren't a SB competitor, and so it's not worth paying a guy to come up with that kind of occasional clutch play when he's not producing the rest of the time according to his pay grade.
Especially when he's only going to get worse and you need the cap room.
