It would give us a good veteran at the position .. maybe a 2 year contract.

I'd sign him in a heart beat. He had a groin injury last year, but that dude is a very, very good WR.
I am really surprised the Chiefs would release him.

Price is fair, then absolutely depending how he has recovered from the groin injury.

i'm not surprised.
Alex smith doesn't like throwing to WR's. TE's is where it's at with him.

Are groin injuries multi-year injuries?
And I thought he came back during the season after suffering the injury early on? Am I wrong?

No, I don't think a signing makes sense for him or the Browns.

I think it makes sense for the Browns, not sure it makes sense with Macklin, unless we show him the money.

And I thought he came back during the season after suffering the injury early on? Am I wrong? Depending on how the injury is handled... And no, you're not wrong, but did he come back full go? Or was he third on the team's chart in receptions after a huge franchise record setting year in 2015? I'm not saying he sucks, definitely not saying that - but I'm not prepared to give him a lot of money and or truthfully, a multi-year contract over two years. This is all JMO of course. EDIT Then again, with hamstring Coleman always sidelined... perhaps we should give a more deeper look. Good point whoever said that, sometimes I forget we even have Coleman on the team.

Yeah, he probably won't want to come here..........but, we do have the money.
I think he is a very good WR and our WR unit is pretty awful. It probably won't happen, but I can hope.

What was the reason for his release?
Are they that desperate for cap relief?

Yes, I think so combined w/a drop in his numbers last year.
It's a very surprising move, though.

I'm a Maclin pimp...Dude runs sharp routes has really nice hands and has speed for his 6'0 205lb frame...
Coming off an injury riddled year and we all know Alex Smith and WRs don't match very well...
I'D take him in a heartbeat...right now we may have the worst WR core in the NFL...adding Maclin would definitely help shore up that weakness and give a compliment to whomever our young QB will be.
Dude is also very likeable and always said to excel in the locker room and off the field as well...would be a huge signing.

I really like the part about him being an excellent route runner. We have young qbs and not having guys who run good routes is an issue. Maclin would be a huge asset to one of our young qbs.

I am really surprised the Chiefs would release him. In 24 years, (ok,21.5) , do you remember saying this about any other potential free agent? Does any other board member remember Vers. saying this about a potential free agent. I don't . I think this is significant, we're talking about Vers. here. He/You doesn't/don't usually jump in with both feet like this. This must be an unusually big opportunity.
Can Deshaun Watson play better for the Browns, than Baker Mayfield would have? ... Now the Games count.

Yeah Vers...I totally agree, we have one yes one WR that knows how to run NFL tree route...that is with Kenny Britt...behind him Coleman, Louis, Higgins, Payton and some other scrubs...Im sorry but IMO I don't think that will get the job done. We need to bring in someone that knows how to win around a corner and we can obtain that with Maclin...He surely would lift the need and is a win win all around...Improves Wideout unit, aids our young QB, and helps the locker room. I'll be disappointed if we don't bring him in for a visit/contract

He might not want to come here, though. We really don't have a qb and we only won one game last year.
The good thing is that we have Hue and players seem to love him. Plus, he'd be the man here.

As much as we might like Maclin to sign here, this doesn't have the feel of a likely match. He's likely looking for a place to get a ring.

Instant sign imo. It'd be nice to have a WR who knows how to play the position at an NFL level.

I can see a contending team like Carolina, Minnesota, Washington, etc look at him. I doubt he'll want to look here, unless we offer the most by a lot.

With all the publicity from players coming out about shocking the world, who knows, maybe we have a shot. I know he's 29 but if offer him a very heavy 4 year deal with an out of the last year in a heartbeat. His contract would just swap out with Haden when he gets cut next year lol

You first have to look to see if he fits the mold.
I doubt he will be looking for less than 4 years. He is 29 years old....to be that puts him with 2 years in the mold, 2 out. Receivers can usually play past 30, so lets say that gives him 3 in the mold. It usually isn't hard to cut guys ion the last year of a contract, so I think he fits from that perspective.
What I am saying is that if we decide to pass on him, it probably isn't because we feel he is past his prime. I'd call his agent and kick the tires, so to speak, unless there is other information out there that we simply have no way of knowing, and insiders do.

Yeah true...I'm sure we are still the last place a player would want to sign with...But like you said, I think Maclin can step in (rather easily) and outplay CC and Kenny Britt...our trio of WR's would look more on par with the rest of the NFL. But if he is chasing a ring...I'm sure someone else would land him, as he literally has zero chance of obtaining that here. Heck, just guessing but I wouldn't be surprised if Buffalo goes after him hard.

I don't think he meant it that way. I think they were two different thoughts, but he put them in the same paragraph. He's a pretty smart guy who has a lot of good takes on football.

No Predator, I just think Buffalo has voids in their WR core that are pretty severe (much like we do) Sammy Watkins is hurt (Goodwin and Robert Woods left, Harvin retired, Chris Hogan left last year) I know they drafted a WR...But I could just see them pushing for Maclin...And no worries I dont see them going to a super bowl anytime soon, however they are more of a solid team compared to our Browns.

Looks like you are correct...cap move.The move, which came after the Chiefs wrapped up the second week of voluntary workouts, saves them $10 million in salary-cap space because Maclin was cut after June 1; they had just $3.5 million available before.link:

all things being equal, would you rather have Britt or Maclin?

Offer him the same deal we did Pryor.. if he takes it .. Great.. if not.. we offered him a good deal and he went elsewhere. Same age.. 29 .. same deal .. and Maclin is the better player with far more experience..

From what you read in KC sounds like a money thing.
The Browns should jump on Maclin. He could help them as long as he clears a medical.

His production has dropped across the board
He peaked 3 years ago.
He's worth a look but not at 9 mil a year.
He's not the big play threat he used to be
He's a number #3 WR at best now
