The Chiefs made a shocking move in early June when they released veteran receiver Jeremy Maclin. The most veteran presence in the receiver room, a leader by all accounts, and the highest paid pass catcher on the football was let go to pay for the sins of John Dorsey’s cap management.
The move was more costly than the just the price tag, as tampering charges followed Maclin to Kansas City, forcing the Chiefs to surrender a third round pick in 2016 and a fifth round pick in 2017.
