Landing Spots for Jeremy Maclin

Hi, today the Chiefs shocked the league by releasing stud receiver Jeremy Maclin. The move did make some sense as he wasn't as good last year and he costed a lot of money and the Chiefs needed some more money. They saved a lot with the cut. Here are some landing spots for Maclin:

San Fransisco 49ers:
The Niners don't have a big threat WR1 on the team which may become a problem. Pierre Garcon may be the no. 1 receiver on the team and he is only decent. The Niners would love to bring an experienced threat onto the team that could walk in as the WR1. He would be perfect here.

Tennessee Titans:
The Titans would be another team that would totally love having him. A young Titans team/receiving core could use an experienced veteran to lead them to the playoffs. Maclin could become the WR1 on the team while Corey Davis would play WR2 but still get the ball a lot. Maclin would be a great spot here.

New York Jets:
They have NO ONE at receiver right now. Eric Decker is great but he is not a WR1, he is more like a WR2. Jeremy Maclin could help whichever bad QB the Jets a lot. Again, he would walk into the WR1 role and I think he could make a great part of this offense.

Baltimore Ravens:
This is the most popular move. In the mere hours he has been a free agent, everyone has been saying he should/will go to the Ravens. Ravens safety Tony Jefferson even tweeted at Maclin to tell him to come. He would fit in with Breshad Perriman and Mike Wallace and maybe he would take the bigger role over both of them. This seems to be the move most likely to happen.

Los Angeles Rams:
With Kenny Britt gone for Cleveland, the QB struggling Rams are trusting bust receiver Robert Woods to take the receiving reigns of the team. That is a receipe for disaster. With Maclin, he could take the WR1 and give Jared Goff a great threat target. Goff will have never played with such a good receiver before and it may be just the right thing to help him develop. Getting Goff a new WR1 with threat abilities is a step in the right direction for the flailing Rams.

Chicago Bears:
The Bears do have a LOT of promising receivers on the team but they also don't have a stud, maybe even elite receiver. If they brought in Maclin, Mike Glennon and Mitch Trubisky will have a great target to get their careers started. Maclin could again be the WR1 of the team and I think the Bears offense would benefit from having him.

Arizona Cardinals:
Other then aging Larry Fitzgerald, the Cards have NO ONE at receiver. Maclin could come in, play behind Larry at WR2 and give Carson Palmer a really good receiving core to end out his career. The Cards would love a younger stud that can catch balls very well and has a star ability to him. This match could end up becoming hell for opposing defenses. WATCH OUT!

Thanks for reading and I'm excited to see where Maclin goes!
