Cutting maclin will lead to extensions for Morse and Ford.

Oakland is about to hit a financial wall...Mack, Carr, Jackson and possibly Cooper. The bill is coming much like what happened in Seattle. I think Dorsey has been waiting for someone they really wanted...they had no chance at Wentz, Mariota or Winston. KC has dumped a lot high profile players this off-season...Howard, Poe, Maclin and Charles. Dorsey saw his team go 12-4 essentially without 3 of them...and Poe declining. |

This buys them $10 million in cap rollover that wouldn't have otherwise existed. It adds $10 million to next year's cap, effectively. It definitely makes it easier for them to keep Smith if they so choose. I'm not saying that IS why they did it, but it would work with the timing. It came right after Mahomes had a bit of a pick-fest in OTAs. I think the more likely scenario is that they were just looking to clear the decks for Hill to ascend to #1 wideout, but I can't completely ignore the possibility that some reticence with Mahomes played into it.

That's not entirely true, extending Bowe in 2013 was more about reshaping the roster...and he could only do so much with what pee-hole had left him. They were trying to have some consistency with the transition. Hopkins is the only probowl WR from that draft class. His hands were tied on that one. 2014 was a strong draft for WR. They wanted to draft Beckham and had Sanders all but signed. Bowe getting busted gave them an out and they essentially replaced him with Maclin. It was a nice move and netted a 1000 yard WR without using a 1st to do so. Not addressing WR early in 2015 class netted them Morse and Peters...Maclin gave them that flexibility. His falling off a cliff has nothing to do with Dorsey...it was a good signing, initially, for many reasons. Had Manning/Hoseface not ****ed with KC signing Sanders....all this would be moot.

It'd be nice to see the Chiefs get a 2019 second or third round pick for Smith, as opposed to nothing, especially since they're not likely to get any serious comp picks because they won't let their best players, like Peters or Ford, walk. |

Pick fest? I only read of one. Is there a more in depth report out there that i've missed?

It didn't raise any alarm bells for me because...duh. He's a rookie gunslinger, he goin' do that. But if Reid thought that he might be a tick further away than they'd hoped and saw a method to keeping Smith on the roster in '18, maybe that's the reason. Personally, I HATE that decision. I mean absolutely loathe it. It effectively kills 1/2 the true financial advantage that comes with a rookie QB due to the high cost of a top 10 5th year option. But they didn't ask me and I'm just trying to spitball. It's not impossible that they're planning for that eventuality and by cutting Maclin early, they give him time to latch on with another squad. If they wait until camp, they'd really be boning a solid veteran player and good soldier so I don't think they'd go that route.

Maybe he thinks a team would trade a 2 for him next offseason...which is possible. |
