Kansas City Chiefs to show interest in Jeremy Maclin?

According to Terez A. Paylor of the Kansas City Star, the Kansas City Chiefs are expected to show interest in free agent wide receiver Jeremy Maclin this coming offseason. The Chiefs are looking for upgrades to their aerial attack for quarterback Alex Smith, and Maclin very well could be a cheaper option because of the ACL injury that he is coming off. This would be a very intriguing move that very well could be a huge boost to an already solid offense.
Maclin has struggled with injury issues throughout his career, and missed the entire 2013 season due to a torn ACL. He has admitted that he may have to take a discounted contract or a one-year deal to prove himself following that big of an injury.
In 2012 with the Philadelphia Eagles, Maclin played in 15 games. He was able to catch 69 passes for a total of 857 yards and seven touchdowns, which shows just how good he can be when healthy. There’s no doubt that he would add yet another playmaker to an offense that already has the potential to break off a big play at any time. Alex Smith has proven to be the quarterback of the future for the Chiefs, and they want to bring in as good of a supporting cast as they can.
At his current rate of progress, Maclin is expected to be cleared for the beginning of training camp, which is certainly good news for any interested team. Maclin was originally drafted by Andy Reid in Philadelphia, and could be an exact fit with what Reid is trying to do in Kansas City. This is certainly a potential destination to keep an eye on for Maclin.

Do not Want.....

He's played 13 or more games every season except for the ACL injury. :rolleyes:

How big or fast is he?

Bah. As soon as Bowe loses 4 pounds, we'll have our own Maclin.

7'3" 325 lbs.

runs a 3.5 40

Considering how awful we are at WR..it's still an improvement.

In a heartbeat.

May be able to get him on a cheap 1-year deal so he can prove he's healthy if no one offers a long term deal. The big issue is that this is the second time that ACL has been torn which leaves a lot of uncertainty.

Honestly, I wouldn't want him on a 1 year deal...but I'd love to have him on the roster. A 2 year deal would be minimum and a 3 year deal would be what I'd shoot for.

The guy is coming off acl and the first half of the year would be a transition, so if we sign him to a 1 year deal, he would probably look for a big payday after just one year if he comes back full strength.

If we can give him a 3 year deal with a decent second year roster bonus, that's probably for the best. That way, if he stays on the field and s a good enough fit, both sides get what they want.

Meh.

That sounds like a created player in Madden. Sign him.

I'd like to see what he can do with the Chiefs. But even at Mizzou he was a bit fragile, so I don't know how much we'd be able to count on him.

I almost guarantee he's in a Chiefs uniform next year. He's an Andy Reid guy and he's gonna want to surround Alex with a guy he knows can produce.

Plus we'll get him cheap because he respects where he stands ATM.

Very good thinking!
