WR Maclin signs with Chiefs, reunited with Reid

Published

on

The Kansas City Chiefs signed Jeremy Maclin on Wednesday, bringing the wide receiver back to his home state of Missouri and reuniting him with coach Andy Reid.

Maclin’s deal has been reported as worth $55 million over five years, with $22.5 million guaranteed.

Maclin, formerly of the Philadelphia Eagles, will again play under Reid, the Chiefs coach who was formerly the Eagles’ boss.

Maclin, 26, was a Pro Bowler for the first time last season in Chip Kelly’s offense in Philadelphia. Returning from a torn ACL suffered in 2013, he posted career-high numbers in 2014, catching 85 passes for 1,318 yards and 10 touchdowns.

The Chiefs did not have a touchdown catch by a receiver in 2014.

A 2009 first-round draft pick, Maclin caught 343 passes for 4,771 yards and 36 touchdowns in five healthy seasons as a member of the Eagles.

The Chiefs needed to clear salary cap space to add Maclin and were expected to release wide receiver Dwayne Bowe, who is scheduled to be paid $10.75 million and count $14 million in 2015.
