Declining to sign Poe and signing Logan had absolutely nothing to do with Maclin's release, as Maclin stated that the Chiefs didn't even discuss renegotiating his contract.

Word is Hunt signed Berry...and his hit is only $5 million this season.
Logan's 8 million had everything to due with being over the cap...he was the only expensive FA signed this year that wasn't already on the team.
They were already up against the cap without Poe...hence moving Berry's real money to 2018/2019 and releasing Howard..
Dorsey didn't want to move Maclin's money around...they are going to have cash problems next season too. He wasn't worth his contract and it offered an out with minimal long-term damage. It was the right move...handled poorly. If Maclin wasn't Reid's surrogate son...it wouldn't have been such a big deal. IMO.
