Maclin's departure is not the end of the world and KC isn't tanking for next year. 16-1700 yards in 2 years isn't irreplaceable. There's probably 40 guys a year that that gain 850+ yards a year and if you look at last year only 80+ guys would get that 5-600 yard production. It is very realistic to believe that several guys on the roster can get that 5-600 yards of last year and adding 150-200 yards (an extra catch or 2 a game) for Reek and Kelce or Conley or Wilson is possible/probable as well. That level of production isn't worth 10 MILLION dollars and isn't spending your money wisely. It's nice to see a GM who looks for value as well as performance.

Alex Smith, once or twice a season, will put together ONE HALF of football that reminds you why he was such a great prospect. I don't expect him to be amazing every snap, but when he does put together a really high level half of football it usually precedes or follows a terrible half of QB play. He'll throw for 72 yards in a first half, and then 220 yards in a second half. Or he'll throw 180 yards and 2 TD's in the first half and finish it with a whimpering 68 yard 1 INT second half. And those are his good games. |

He was hardly ever a deciding factor and never the Defense's main concern. |

Is our #2 WR even going to be a top 3 target in this offense? 4th option?
Clearly Kelce is the top target followed by Hill. After that is Ware/Hunt and with Alex's penchant for targeting TE's it wouldn't surprise me if Escobar was the 4th target. So it's very possible that Conley is our 5th option on offense with Alex. |

If it was simply a matter of performance alone and not a need for salary relief they would have let him go to camp before cutting him. |

It's mind numbing. We know he can make great throws, but he chooses not to, even when faced with elimination. |

The 2015 Maclin would be a big asset this season. The 2016 version? Not so much. After 2015, I would have said Maclin (as many posters on here did) may be the most irreplaceable piece on offense. Flash forward to Hill's arrival and Kelce's continued rise, along with Maclin's injury and disinterest in 2016...we all should have seen this as a strong possibility.
You got to think Maclin's mini-camp performance and/or another WR's emergence played into this decision as well. Otherwise, he would have been released earlier this offseason like Charles was. Here's hoping Conley, Robinson, Chessen, etc. can surprise this year. |

KC rarely lines up with 4 WRs on the field and Hill/Conley showed ability to be players in 2016 that are ascending.
Kelce might be the best TE in the game (if Gronk back is fukd) Hunt is going to be a lot better than most here think. The OL is together the next 2 years minimum and is ascending. Albert Wilson is playing for a new deal in KC or elsewhere (I prefer elsewhere but I digress) For this offense to take a big step forward, it needs just 1 of Chesson, Robinson or someone else to step up and give us some ability to make plays and Robinson seems to have worked hard for the opportunity to get on the field and show he can be that guy. |

Wow, after reading all of this I almost feel better about the Royals. Wait, no I don't.
Shocking? Yes. Unexpected? Maybe. End of the world? Never. Players come and go. Young players emerge and step up or are replaced. Older players get injured, don't produce and are let go. Just like the climate, the only constant in sports is change. I look forward to football season EVERY year, doesn't matter who the players are on the field. I am a CHIEFS fan. That means I want every player to play well and the team to win. How does a thread about Maclin being cut for cap/production/who knows get turned into an Alex Smith debate? Yeah, he isn't Tom Brady and our coach isn't Belicheat however this is our team and I am going to do my best to enjoy every minute of football. At least, that's my plan. Go Chiefs. |

More important than WR 3 may be who is going to be TE#2??
He surely won't drop more passes than Harris did last year, I would hope. |
