The Chiefs just decided to part ways with their best receiver. On Friday, the team announced that they cut Jeremy Maclin just two years after they signed him to a mega five-year, $55-million contract.

"I'd like to thank Jeremy for his effort and dedication the past two seasons," Chiefs general manager John Dorsey said in a statement. "I have great respect for all players, which makes decisions like these very difficult, but we felt it was in the best interest of our club moving forward to part ways at this time. We wish Jeremy the best as he continues his career.
