If my timeline could talk, its first words would be “ASDLFKJ!” And if half the people weren’t hungover, I assume Kansas City would look like a Coke commercial right now; strangers hugging strangers, Kool & the Gang, a drunk guy with a T-shirt cannon—the whole nine.
So, besides euphoria, what exactly does this mean?
The truth is that we don’t know, but we’re going to find out over the next two days.
The Kansas City Chiefs weren’t—and obviously still aren’t—even under the cap when the news broke, so I’m guessing that John Dorsey has a blueprint laid out. Something tells me that he’s not just throwing caution to the wind and winging it carpe-diem style.
Also, since we tweeted this out two hours prior, we’re happy to take a solid 10-15 percent of the credit—good karma and whatnot.
Maclin had 140 targets, 85 receptions and only one drop last season. That 1-year contract was the best thing that could've happened to him.

We’ll post a more thorough analysis of the signing (and it’s potential ramifications) later tonight.
