Jeremy Maclin has been released.

[Saca312]

Is this even a thing? Maclin didn't exactly have a good year last year. I'll have whatever y'all are smoking.

Well, dip s hit.  I'm born and raised in North Carolina.  That's probably better than your dumb ass reason.  

You're an awful poster but 15 is worse.

LOL Gettleman has shown he'll move on.  KBs year is now.

Even if KB has another season similar to last year and his rookie season, he's worth a one year test before you buy $8.5M contract. But, he'd need to show something more to land a big money long-term deal. Given his struggles with conditioning paired with a reconstructed ACL I'd be leery of giving him big money before seeing definitive signs that he's ready to fully commit himself to being the best NFL WR he can be. But, I think if he does that, he can be really, really good.

Chiefs cut him because of the cap hit, we don't have the cap space for him even if we wanted him.

[top dawg]

Cap space can be made (see KC). Maclin was a cap casualty, but also arguably misused and/or miscast under noodle-armed Smith. Yes, he was overpaid, but he's a good receiver, arguably equal to or better than any receiver on our squad WHEN HEALTHY. As such he would need to give us some type of discount commensurate with his injury risk and agent. A prove-it contract should be doable provided that he's still getting paid money from KC that would in theory offset any financial hit that he'd be taking to play with a cannon-armed QB that would arguably help him maximize his skill set, revive his career, and possibly win a championship.

As for all the receivers on our roster, true competition never hurt anyone. Sure we could be fine, but I am not going to use them to justify not acquiring Maclin. 

[top dawg]

That being said, he'll probably end up with the Browns, Bears, Bills or Ravens.

I think if we went after Maclin on a 1 year prove it deal with heavy incentives it would be an excellent move. Maclin would probably wind up being our top wideout, and if not then the competition with KB and Funchess and even Samuel is great for all the wideouts. And Maclin is the type of receiver we still don't have. We added speed and shiftiness in the draft with Samuel and McC to a lesser degree, and took a shot on Shep from Tampa who could fill the role but he's far from proven. Maclin would provide an outstanding route runner with solid hands for us who can be our possession guy but also take it further with some big play ability. 

 

But it like you said I'm like 95% sure that we won't even bother contacting his agent.  He could probably easily get twice what we'd be willing to pay from a team like the Ravens or the like.

That $8.5M is the team activating KBs 5th-year clause.

That's a GUARANTEED $8.5M, even if he gets cut (with that same figure against the cap even if he gets cut). Which means that Gettleman has already made the decision to retain KB through 2018.

"LOL" indeed.

Probably because both Maclin and his agent would laugh in Gettleman's face at a "one year prove-it deal".

[gmonjimbo]

Adding Maclin would stunt Funchess and Curtis Samuels growth. It is pivotal that we find out what we have in our young Wrs. Even Rivera admitted they could have used Funchess better. Signing a WR based on name recognition for 6+million is not ideal. 

[Khyber53]

In the end, the money could simply be spent better elsewhere. Turner and Norwell contracts, in particular.

Not really. He was terrrible last year and if he took a prove it deal and dominated he would get way more after that than if he took a long term deal right now.
