Clark Hunt didn't "sign" Eric Berry. He reached out to him and made him comfortable, so that he'd sign.

Bullshit. This is complete and utter bullshit. Logan was signed on March 13th. If Dorsey felt that they weren't going to be Cap Compliant, he would have cut Maclin in March and given him a June 1 Designation.

No. Howard failed his physical, plain and simple. They weren't even sure he'd latch on with another team. Fortunately, the Bears signed him and the Chiefs received another $2.5 million in cap relief.

Again, no. Where the **** are you getting this nonsense?
If the Chiefs intended to cut Maclin for salary cap space, they could have done so on the 1st Day of the new League Year.
There's absolutely NO WAY that Dorsey said to himself on March 13, "I'm going to sign Bennie Logan for $8 million, then next month, I'm going to cut Jaye Howard to gain $4-5 million more in cap space and on June 2nd, I'm cutting Maclin, take a Dead Money hit and create more Cap Space".
No way.
Also, the Chiefs are currently $11 million under the salary cap, so if Dorsey had approached Maclin and asked him to restructure to what he received in Baltimore ($6 million per), the Chiefs would STILL be $5 million under the cap.
Your "theory" is complete and utter rubbish.
