They will probably replace him with an undrafted free agent, Torrey McTyer. He also got on the bad side of the coaching staff by freelancing and ignoring what the coaching staff was calling. He was a healthy scratch for the last 2 games. When he signs again, he will be on his 4th team in 4 years, but he needs a change of scenery? This isn't a numbers game where there are just too many good CBs on the Miami roster. The Dolphins want to get rid of him so badly that they are willing to pay him $5MM to just go away.

And the veteran leadership thing? That's who you want mentoring your young players? A player who won't follow the scheme?

Do people just look at a name and figure he is good and because he's been around awhile, he MUST be a good leader?
Kick the tires. It's what good teams do. There's a scarcity of FAs, so you check your options at areas of need. Yes, a change of scenery can turn a player around. A player can't buy experience. Maxwell has been in the league and he's played on a SB winning team. Your narrative comes from one media report. By that standard, here's a quote from the coaching staff:

“Max plays what we ask him to play, all our guys do,” Burke said.

So maybe Maxwell banged your girlfriend or maybe you're just trolling. Doesn't matter. Chiefs should try this guy out. See what happens. If they don't like the workout/interview, then they don't sign him. Pretty simple.
