He thinks we're bunkering $$$ for next year when 2PM might play...

I don't like getting rid of Maclin now. I was all for it next off-season but not now.
Despite what others are saying, this is clearly management reloading the team and preparing for Mahomes. The Chiefs aren't trying to "win now" with Alex. If they were, then they wouldn't have cut Maclin and try to replace him with Demarcus Robinson who Alex has to start all over with to gain rhythm. If the Chiefs really needed money for the rookies, they could have let Albert Wilson walk and cut Demetrius Harris and been fine. We will find out a lot when the QB battle is over. If Mahomes wins the backup job, I think it's entirely likely he could play at the end of the season ala Jay Cutler's rookie season. |

The same guys applauding Maclin's release probably used Maclin's absence to excuse poor offensive performance in the past.
Maclin definitely had a bad year last year. It's entirely possible he is on the decline. But anyone trying to claim this is a net gain or even a break even on wr talent on the field in 2017 is crazy. The only thing that makes this move acceptable is the salary cap issues that mandated it happen. The team just got less talented at the WR position. Sent from my SM-G920V using Tapatalk

When you can cut talent like Maclin you know your team is awesome.

Bunkering money isn't a bad thing. But this move isn't about that. It's about finding money to pay current bills, not go on a shopping spree next year.

Next offseason, Alex is gone. DJ and Hali likely are too. That represents a completely new era. The Mahomes era. This season will still likely field a 9-11 win team, but Reid and Dorsey know that this is just the swan song season of this most recent era. 2013-2017 was largely led by Smith, Charles, Maclin, Poe, DJ, Hali, Houston, Berry, and a bit of Kelce... 2018 and beyond will be led by Mahomes, Hill, Kelce, Peters, Houston, Jones, Ford, Berry, and the current secured OL. |

All I need to know to validate my opinion that releasing Maclin was a good decision is the fact that Rausch and Whitlock don't like it.
