So? That still leaves $7 million.

First off, you're speculating. Maclin signed a 2 year deal for $6 million per year. Why wouldn't he have renegotiated with the Chiefs?

He stated implicitly that the Chiefs didn't even ASK him!

And furthermore, being $1 million over going into camp is no big deal. They're not making any big free agent signings and if anything, cutting Jah Reid saves $2.8 million, Demetrious Harris and Albert Wilson, neither of which are a lock to make the 53, would save another $3 million.

So right there, another $6 million in savings.

The Chiefs signed Eric Berry and Daniel Sorenson before they announced a deal with Logan.

Your stupid ****ing theory about Logan "putting them over the cap" is complete and utter nonsense.

No..you said Berry was getting $13 million..numbnuts. He's getting $5 million. I know KC signed them first...which reinforces the fact he knew, in advance, Logan was going to cause cap issues down the road... and some player(s) were going to have to go. It's why Berry's first year is ridiculously cheap. Chiefs were strapped. They were at $3.5 prior to releasing him...and couldn't sign Mahomes (who still isn't signed).

Maclin was the logical choice as he underperformed, had the largest hit and Hill emerged. Cutting him saved around $10 million....and after signing Mahomes they will be at around $6 million....

Bottom line is Dorsey planned to get rid of Maclin (and his bloated salary) a while ago. He was shopping him this winter...the question is did Reid know about the cap situation/ Dorsey's plan?

Then it was a stupid signing and Dorsey deserved to be fired (although I don't agree with your assessment).

Cutting him saved about $9 million but costs them $2.4 million this year and $4.8 million next year.

I was a horrible, horrible decision. He should have asked to renegotiate, so that the dead money wouldn't have been so large.

No. Didn't you read the link? Mahomes will count less than $3 million against the cap.

Who cares if Reid knew? Dorsey's the GM and made the decision. But it's how he made the decision that was the final straw for Clark Hunt.

I'm not sure a renegotiation was even doable...if Maclin takes say $8 mil...and wipes the $2.6 in dead money, it's still $5.4 more against the cap THIS year. They didn't have it...they were at $3.5

I seriously doubt Maclin would have accepted $6 million from KC. His salary was $12.4 million this year..so they DID save almost $10 million.

Not sure how his deal will be structured but Forbes had the #10 pick slated at $4+ million for 2017.

Well..Reid has a lot of power. He always said Dorsey handles the business side...unless it hangs him out to dry. He's a player's coach and to have his hand-picked WR dumped a week after his wedding kind of clowns him.

I would understand Reid being pissed if he was out of the loop on that particular situation...and wasn't at least consulted on it.
