I'm not 100% sure, though....could be thinking of someone else.
Im pretty sure you're right, maclin is injury prone and inconsistent. He's definately not worth the money KC was giving him, although KC doesn't really have wr depth.....but Maclin is an average at best starter.....not a wr dynamo like a dez bryant or obj who can single handedly affect a game....even Alex Smith was suprised by this move but I think the writing is on the wall for Alex Smith this season as it will be his last in KC and probably will be replaced by game 5 or 6 this season with a rookie or another qb......smith's lack of a deep ball is holding back a very good overall KC team.....Maclin to my knowledge had only 2 very good seasons of over 1000yrds receiving. that's not elite talent that's just average starter talent.....
Rumor mill is that buffalo via lesean mccoy will be courting maclin's services.....idk if I were a team with good WR depth or needing a 3rd wr or slot guy maybe I'd sign him but no way would he be my #1 or #2 WR...the guy is just way too inconsistent/not a game breaker......
And you never know, Maclin might be the type to flourish in a #2 or slot role.
Perhaps being the #1 target is just a little too much for him to handle...with the injuries and inconsistency.
