Kansas City Chiefs to show interest in Jeremy Maclin

Kansas City Chiefs to show interest in Jeremy Maclin? Posted by: Evan Massey January 18, 2014 in AFC West, Chiefs, Eagles, NFC East, NFL, NFL Blog, NFL Rumors JeremyMaclinChiefsRumorSG 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. |

i think the question will be how do you get your incentive laden deal to trump whatever the Eagles offer him.
the Eagles could offer him an incentive laden deal and why would he leave when they got Foles, that offense, and his teammates/familiarity. We have Andy Reid and closer to home for him. Might come down to teams getting in a bid war |

Can we get him for something like 3 years 8-10 million with a minimal first year cap hit and a roster bonus in the second year?...or will he want a deal that averages over 5million per year? Big difference, given the risk. This is a really good draft class of receivers and drafting someone would be much cheaper. |

I'm just going by memory so besides the acl he's just always been dinged. That's alright though as long as he comes in on a prove it basis. There is chance we could get a good player for cheap which would really help us though so it could be the best way to upgrade the WR position while leaving most of our assets to use on defense. I'd be down with it if it happened but I'd temper my enthusiasm.

Could either go with a 1 year prove it deal, which like Bennett and the Seahawks can actually bite the team if he comes out and plays great, then you've priced yourself out.
If you could get him to sign a 2 or 3 year smaller deal, do it. He's not an elite #1 WR, but he has the tools to be a very good 2 fringe 1 type WR. Good speed, good hands, good route runner. IIRC, at MU he even returned punts. |

Rather draft the guy in your sig if Ebron, and Jace are gone.

Combine that with hopefully grabbing your sig. An offense that struggled last year, is now SO IMPROVED. Would WANT.

I'm not signing a WR who's looking for a deal to take himself away from a HOF QB or an elite QB as Jones and Decker are looking to do.
Cooper or Maclin would be my choice, as well as drafting Lee if he were there. |

I'll let Dex walk, sign Maclin and re-sign Kyle Williams on the cheap.
That'll give me two great outside threats, an improvement at slot with Avery over Dex, and a proven punt returning expert in Williams. Boom. Upgraded everywhere except (arguably) punt returns. |

Obviously, we'd want him if the price was right. The question is how high should we be willing to go?
