WR Jeremy Maclin released

[Patsgofor4]

Wow, didn't see that one coming. Clears 10 mill in cap space, post June first cut. Sign the...

 

[primetime]

They won't sign him, but someone will get a nice deal. Might go back to the Eagles.

 

[Wheelman]

What did he do?

 

[Todd Bradley]

Sure, why not.

 

[farn]

Surprised. But would be even more surprised if NE shows interest when considering $ and depth at WR.

Agree. Maybe if he clears waivers but would make sense for a WR needy team with a ton of cap space like Cleveland, Niners, Titans.

What did he do?

7 seasons
474 - receptions (avg 67.7 per season)
6,385 - receiving yards (913.57 avg)
46 - Touchdowns (6.57 avg)

 

[Flash]

Not the biggest need but hey if he's willing to take a cap friendly contract, by all means

No waivers for veterans until after the trade deadline.

No waivers for veterans until after the trade deadline.

Ah, ok. Thanks. Those teams still make the most sense. He doesn't strike me as a take less $$ for a ring type of guy.

 

[JarOfMayo51]

its too bad we have no room on the roster for more WRs... someone will pick up a solid veteran with a reasonable contract

 

[Nunchucks]

Id bring him in for vet minimum.

He doesn't play special teams, so he has no role except depth. Unless you want to use him in place of Hogan or Mitchel.

 

[slash83]

Week 1 that much easier.

In 2014 and 2015, Jeremy Maclin had 18 touchdowns and 2 drops. In 2016 he had 2 touchdowns and 7 drops.

I'm surprised how lukewarm people in here are on Maclin. He has had nothing but losers galore throwing to him for his career but still put up some damn decent numbers.

Unless there's something going on that I'm not aware of, I'd take him in a heartbeat.

Upgrade over Danny A
Rams Niners Jets Bills make sense
Packers too

Hindsight (observation, not complaint):

Could have saved those picks that got used on Cooks

 

[Joey007]

He's not not coming here. He would have way better opportunities to get more targets elsewhere.

That was my first thought, too, but there's no guarantee that he would sign here. Still, Edelman, Hogan, Mitchell, Maclin, Amendola, Hawkins does sound pretty good.

Yeah, it sounds good if it's before the draft, giving the Patriots more picks for the defense and/or OL. But Big Andy waited until now, and there's no room left at the inn. Oh, well...
