Remember the historically awful Chiefs WR depth chart in 2014? The group without a TD reception for the entire season?
Dorsey, in his own words admitted after that season that he made a mistake the previous offseason by not being more aggressive in addressing the WR position.
Hopefully history doesn't repeat itself.

As far as the WRs go, I really hope that Reid and Dorsey looked at what Maclin, Hill, Conley, Robinson and Chesson looked like in OTAs, on top of what they showed last year, and felt pretty confident that the group could be good without Maclin going forward.
Obviously there was a need to clear cap space but they had to see something in OTAs, even if it is without pads and all, to release Maclin.
And when you take a decision like this, it is not just about this coming year, you take this decision with a vision for the next few years. And then you realize Maclin will be declining, if he is not already, when your young QB Mahomes will be taking charge and Maclin will still have that huge salary.
