Look at Maclin's stats. Then weigh that against the 10 million in savings and then tell me if you would have done the same thing as KC GM.
Fair enough, his 2016 stat line is horrendous, though I thought he was dealing with injuries. But if Tyreek Hill (fuck him, by the way) gets hurt or has a sophomore slump, they could be real thin at that position.

There are a ton of Chiefs fans that are really okay with this move. I'm in the middle. I totally see the financial benefit. And I understand Maclin's limitations (his age, his injury/concussion history, and his QB). But I also lean a bit your way. We don't have any depth at the position. And only Hill can really stretch the field. This really feels like a move for next year more than this year. We'll see. Maybe they have their eye on a free agent WR? I have no idea. Ultimately, I get it and I think I'm fine with it. But it does make me worry a bit.
Guys, I am not a moderator! I swear to God! Why does everyone think I'm a moderator?

Good article on the hilarity and stupidity that is going on in Washington with Cousins. Basically, if they don't get a deal done by next month and he gets franchise money, they'll be paying out over two years (or three if this goes to next year) the same amount of money as a long term deal, but without the cap relief that comes with a contract.
Pros and Cons of getting rid of Divisions. Just two Conferences. Each team plays everyone else in their Conference and for their 16th game they play the opponent in the other Conference who finished closest to their position in the previous regular season. What do you think? Good idea, bad idea?

I like it in theory for a more balanced schedule, but it would lead to fewer interesting marque games.

Way too long between facing each interconference foe.
I'm fine with eliminating divisions as long as you keep the same scheduling in place, including home and home against current division foes.

I'm a little confused. I wasn't saying the literal final game of the season would be the inter-conference game. Just that at one point your team would play an inter-conference opponent that finished in your team's same slot in their own conference. I think teams would still get 8 home games and 8 away games. I don't think much of the scheduling would need to change.

No, I mean that playing only one interconference foe per year if you're playing all 15 of your own conference teams in a round robin would result in a very long time between two teams from opposite conferences facing each other.
