Report: Jeremy Maclin Plans To Sign With The Chiefs

Recommended Posts

ESPN’s Chris Mortensen reports that free agent WR Jeremy Maclin plans to reunite with Andy Reid in Kansas City once free agent market opens Tuesday.

 

Mortensen adds that the Chiefs will need to clear cap space, which can be done by releasing WR Dwayne Bowe.

 

Charles Robinson confirms that the Chiefs are close to locking Maclin up, but adds that it’s not a done deal.

Numerous reports in recent days have said that Maclin was likely to return to the Eagles, as they were reportedly pushing to get him under contract.

However, it appears as though the Chiefs made him an offer he can’t refuse.

 

Maclin, 26, missed the entire 2013 season after he suffered a torn ACL. The Eagles later signed him to a one-year contract worth $5.5 million, even though they were reportedly interested in giving him a multi-year agreement.

 

In 2014, he caught 85 passes for 1,318 yards receiving and 10 touchdowns over the course of 16 games.Pro Football Focus has him rated as the No. 14 receiver out of 110

We weren't in the running for Maclin anyways. The way I look at it... The Chiefs just got a stud WR and will be less likely to take one in the first round ahead of us. The chances of us having Jaelen Strong available at 25 just went up a considerable amount. They could still select one for all I know, but this signing helps our chances.

The chances are still there. There's a reason the WRs didn't have a single reciving touchdown last season Their WR core sucks.

 

There'll be nothing behind Maclin in KC.

Same with the Niners getting Torrey. Even though I've been screaming WR since the beginning of time, Cobb, Smith and Maclin all didn't interest me, especially with the contracts they're getting.

But you'll have to sell me on Strong...

    • Agreed on the last part. They can’t afford to lose all these games with Martin and Perets. 
    • Yes.  And this converts directly to confidence.  Does the coach have confidence to call a deep dig or seam route?  Does Bryce have confidence in his ability to be the Alpha?  Do his teammates have confidence.  About film--when I see Cam Newton's pre-snap confidence vs. Bryce's, it is night and day.   Film--tells you if the WRs are open (why l love watching the Replay telecasts from the end zone cameras--you can see it.  I have seen 2 WRs open and Bryce's eyes are on the outlet WR or the pass rush. )  You can see progressions, and he has improved a bit--but he is very quick to rush through 1 and 2 and checkdown--that is a lack of confidence in his ability to read the defense.  I had a former NFL TE (Deems Maye) who played QB in high school (not sure about college) tell me that the best QBs read the defense by knowing where everyone will be when the ball is to arrive--not where they are.  I think his QB at the time was Humphries.  He said that Humphries would throw the ball into coverage before the cuts etc.  because he understood DB momentum, zone areas, etc.  and he could just see it.  Said so when people say nobody was open, they are usually right because nobody should be "open" when the QB has the ball--when the ball arrives, everyone should be open.  He said Humphries was never "great" but his skills were limited--from a small school--but his ability to read a defense made him never give up on a route.
