Essentially add up the base salary plus any bonuses that won't be earned and you'll have your cap savings. The signing bonus 'carries through' and hits the cap. The June 1 designation wouldn't matter either way as Bailey's in his last year. You're high on the dead money across the board.

Not able to use the calculator on my phone but I'll take your word for it. That's even better news bc it means we will gain even more money.

The Chiefs can win the same number of games with or without Maclin so he was expendable. That being said from just about any way you look at it the more information I learn the less sense this move makes. There must have been something else than just cap money.

Also FWIW with Maclin, he only had 2 more receiving TD's than Hill in his 2015 season. Hill only had 2/3 of the targets last season that Maclin had in 2015.

The development of Conley, Hill, Robinson, Jones and others most likely accelerated this decision.

I think bottom line they needed the money and Hill took Maclin's job. Conley is the #2 WR regardless and the other receivers will still compete for the 3rd spot.

The Cap money is really as much an explanation as is needed. Though here's another spin on it (one I like far less) - what if Mahomes' early performance has them a little more spooked than they expected? Because there was no way to keep Smith on this roster next year, IMO. The money just wasn't going to work. But now with an additional $10 million of freed up rollover (and the knowledge that Smith's weapons don't actually impact his play), the possibility of keeping Smith in '18 is actually back in play. I hate it, but it's true.

Especially considering the Chiefs could have released Maclin earlier during the offseason, and saved the same $10 million in salary cap room by designating Maclin as a post-June 1st cut.

I think they just needed some cap room now for this year, and they feel good about their other WRs. |
