Maclin was a big free-agent signing of the Chiefs prior to the 2015 season — five years, $55 million — and he delivered with the franchise’s highest reception total (87) since 2008, became the first 1,000-yard receiver (1,088) in four years and scored a team-high eight touchdowns.
never thought he was that good since his college days

Chiefs cut Jeremy Maclin two years after signing him to $55 million deal
Maclin went for 536 yards in 2016



The Chiefs just decided to part ways with their best receiver. On Friday, the team announced that they cut Jeremy Maclin just two years after they signed him to a mega five-year, $55-million contract.

"I'd like to thank Jeremy for his effort and dedication the past two seasons," Chiefs general manager John Dorsey said in a statement. "I have great respect for all players, which makes decisions like these very difficult, but we felt it was in the best interest of our club moving forward to part ways at this time. We wish Jeremy the best as he continues his career."

"These decisions are never easy, especially with a player like Jeremy who I've grown close with on and off the football field over the years," coach Andy Reid added. "I have a lot of respect for the way he goes about his business and how he handles himself as a professional. I wish him the best of luck moving forward."

Not worth the money.
29 year old guy with just 44 catches last season, playing 12 games. I get that a big part of that was the Chiefs not being a great passing team, but it's not like Maclin is a superstar and he's unlikely to get any better as he approaches 30.

Maybe he can be a good 3rd option somewhere.
The Rams always need WRs, lol.
