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.

It seems like every game he's always writhing in pain from what looks like routine tackles , then he has to miss a couple plays. Might not be a big deal, but when it happens constantly, it starts to get a tad irritating.

Not an overly big receiver, but uses his body pretty well for his size.

Finds ways to get open in the red zone for TDs.

Pretty good hands

I want the Eagles to keep him, and he'd be a nice addition to the Chiefs, but I would not go crazy for him. He's yet to "break out" and prove that he is more than a #2 receiver in the NFL.

Yeah, his numbers so far dont bear him out as a #1... I think the main reasons most of us want him here are

a) solid speed

b) knows the system

c) will be reasonable with contract demands

Forgot to add that Maclin is also a very willing and capable blocker. It may not mean much to your average fan, but coaches like it.

If you can't get your hands on a surefire #1, might as well load up on #2/fringe 1 guys. Bowe, Maclin, etc.

O.city · 01-20-2014, 05:30 PM

Add Maclin, then take Brandin Cooks in the 3rd round.

Cooks will be gone by then. You're looking at Jared Abbredderis and Donte Moncrief in the 3rd IMO.

O.city · 01-20-2014, 05:49 PM

I wish we still had a 2nd round pick, thats where Cooks would be a great pick.

I like the idea of signing Maclin and drafting another receiver. We obviously need to get more production from the WR position this season and there's no reason to put all of our eggs in one basket.

This team clearly did not believe in the "next man up" philosophy.

We had injuries all year and definitely in the playoffs but when back ups produced they didn't get more touches.

Guys like Hemingway and Jenkins produced when targeted.

Though I held my breath every time he touched the ball every time he was asked to come in Davis balled.

Abdullah was big.

I'm not saying we should make these guys starters but if if they get 20 snaps and produce give them 35...

You have a point. Considering the guys we had in front of them, Hemingway and Jenkins probably should have gotten more playing time.

Oh! Branden Albert Syndrome!

Cooper seems more of the Alex Smith type than Maclin.

Get out of here with that bullshit.
