Maclin Released

[dldove77]

This was expected, right?

[therealmjl]

Yes was expected.

[Car123]

Rather draft a wr in the 1st.

[TylerDurden]

Yeah, Maclin isn't appealing at all.  He hasn't been the same since that off-season in Philly where he dealt with that mystery illness.  I really hope we don't even kick the tires on that one.

[Catufb85]

Not interested and will be overpaid by the way WR contracts are going.

Not really shaping up well for that but it could still happen...

Stop saying "oh we'll just draft so and so" to ease your insecurities. This is a must and will come cheaper than anyone else at this point and adds the much needed speed. i created a thread on this a week ago.

I'm not necessarily saying he's done,  but this is what Chris Wesseling had to say:

 

"Battling shoulder, back, knee and concussion injuries, Maclin was one of the league's least productive starting wide receivers last year, managing just 440 yards and three touchdowns in 12 games. After burning Cincinnati's secondary for a 48-yard touchdown in the season opener, Maclin recorded just two games over 50 yards in the next four months. No longer a threat with the ball in his hands, he hasn't compensated by reliably beating cornerbacks at the catch point."

That being said,  I could see kicking the tires on him with the vet minimum, or perhaps a little more with "nothing" guaranteed.  But it's telling that a team that is WR needy would pick Ryan Grant over the one-time playmaker.

Kind of within the same vein, the Packers asked Nelson to take a substantial pay cut down to the vet minimum.  These old,  hurt guys have seen better days.

Who was his QB again? Flacco and someone worse than Flacco. Same reason Wallace is out. Bring him here.

I would much rather have Crabtree or Wallace. I think Maclin is done and won't even be playing on a team this year.
