The Kansas City Chiefs made Jeremy Maclin a salary cap casualty late Friday evening, severing ties with the veteran wide receiver after two seasons.
Maclin posted career-worst numbers in 2016, managing just 44 receptions for 536 yards and two touchdowns in 12 games for the Chiefs. Maclin battled through a groin injury late in the season that cost him four games.
The Chiefs save $10 million in cap space by releasing Maclin, who is now free to sign anywhere. One destination could be the Bears, who despite an overhaul of the position this offseason could still use another veteran with experience.
