ESPN Ravens reporter Jamison Hensley believes the Ravens would be the "perfect landing spot" for free agent Jeremy Maclin.
It makes so much sense. As Hensley points out, Ravens OC Marty Mornhinweg was Maclin's coordinator in Philly for his first four seasons before Maclin jettisoned for Kansas City. The Ravens are missing a ton of production from 2016 with Steve Smith Sr. retired, Kamar Aiken gone, and now Dennis Pitta's career likely over after a third dislocated hip suffered in OTAs. Maclin is the exact type of signing Ravens GM Ozzie Newsome explores. A veteran who clearly has gas left in the tank who won't count against the compensatory pick formula.

I'd be seriously rooting for it if I were you. Baltimore threw the ball more than any team in the NFL each of the last two years, and have lost over 300 targets off of those teams. It's pretty much perfect IMO.I hope not but only for purely selfish reasons. I own both Perriman and Maclin.
I've actually defended Smith here before, but Maclin finding a home with a better QB isn't hard.I have to assume he catches on somewhere, perhaps somewhere better than with ASmith. Last year was a bust hopefully there's an improvement.
This is what I was thinking, he'd be a great fit, can do much that Cooks could do, a real pro.... but money.Saints,
I knew they lost a lot of targets but I didn't know they threw that much. Perriman is going to go crazy this year.I'd be seriously rooting for it if I were you.

Yokes. Had no idea LA had that little to work with. Ravens don't seem likely without restructuring either.Available cap space for the teams recently mentioned in this thread:
- LAR $1.7M
- BAL $2.1M
- DET $9M
- NOS $12.3M
- BUF $12.3M
- ARI $15.1M
- DAL $16.9M
- CLE $60.9M
- SFO $68.3M
I think the chances are very slim the Cards pick him up. They really like both Browns, Fitz is still there, and they drafted a rookie in the third round. Arians said recently that the entire group of WR's, including those that have no chance of making the team, is the strongest group he's ever seen. I'm not sure they have room for Maclin.The Bears have the 7th most cap space according to sportrac and they could use a WR.
I wonder if the Colts might be interested? They have the 9th most cap space and should be able to afford him.
The Cardinals might be interested in Maclin as well. They have $15 million cap space.
Of course any team could likely make cap space available by cutting players if needed to afford Maclin.
Thanks. I was wondering why no other site had mentioned whether he would clear waivers.He isn't subject to waivers since he's been in the league at least 4 years, he's a free agent.
If I'm a contending team who could use a #2 WR, I'm offering him an incentive laden contract with team options for next year. If I'm him that's close to what I want too, bonus if that QB is Brees,He's got an interesting choice for sure. He should be excited. Kc wasn't exactly a great spot for him with their style. Although they did win alot.
I would look for the best QB if I was him
I also wonder how many teams will be down on him since he was hurt and or not productive all last year. I still think hes a really good player
It's really wide open to where he could go. You would think the majority of teams would want himIf I'm a contending team who could use a #2 WR, I'm offering him an incentive laden contract with team options for next year. If I'm him that's close to what I want too, bonus if that QB is Brees,
I think his market will be cold and team will want to sign him on the cheap....maybe he comes back to KC on the cheap?It's really wide open to where he could go. You would think the majority of teams would want him
Maclin's still a decent player. Don't agree that.I think his market will be cold and team will want to sign him on the cheap....maybe he comes back to KC on the cheap?
problem is team have filled their needs via FA and the draft.....so how many spots are left...I think Boldin is playing either in Detroit or Baltimore and will be cheaper than what Maclin wants....maybe SF could use him to start right away? but his FF upside would be limited there IMOMaclin's still a decent player. Don't agree that.
This is true. I think a team moves some players and makes room for him though. Hes better than most teams wr2 and would be wr1 on a fewproblem is team have filled their needs via FA and the draft.....so how many spots are left...I think Boldin is playing either in Detroit or Baltimore and will be cheaper than what Maclin wants....maybe SF could use him to start right away? but his FF upside would be limited there IMO
Don't see LAR as a contender here. Too little cap room, too far from contending, not much appealing about it to Maclin.Available cap space for the teams recently mentioned in this thread:

LeSean McCoy says he has been "recruiting" free agent Jeremy Maclin to sign with the Bills.
The fit makes sense for a Bills team that can't count on Sammy Watkins' health and is dealing with a knee injury to second-round pick Zay Jones. Maclin obviously has history with McCoy from Philadelphia, where Bills coach Sean McDermott's time as a defensive coordinator and secondary coach also overlapped. Buffalo would be a poor spot for Maclin's fantasy outlook, however.

Jordan Schultz of the Huffington Post reports the Bills are in preliminary talks with free agent Jeremy Maclin.
It's not a great fantasy destination, but it does make a lot of sense from a reality standpoint. Jason Fitzgerald of Overthecap.com recently estimated Maclin would command $5 million annually. The Bills are dealing with injuries to top receivers Sammy Watkins (foot) and Zay Jones (knee).

It wouldn't suck for the BillsThat would suck if he went to the bills
New coach...new oc....new offensive philosphy......things change fast...perhaps if they roll with mccoy a healthy watkins....zay jones n maclin....they could be dangerous on offenseThat would suck if he went to the bills
It all depends on whether Tyrod can learn to make accurate middle range throws. The guy is a beast on the deep ball, but struggles with throwing it over the middle.bicycle_seat_sniffer said:New coach...new oc....new offensive philosphy......things change fast...perhaps if they roll with mccoy a healthy watkins....zay jones n maclin....they could be dangerous on offense
I just can't see a massive swing where there'd be enough targets for Maclin and Watkins to be fantasy relevant with Zay Jones likely getting significant snaps. If Maclin goes to the Bills, he's a injury play - which is very possible given Watkins' health. I've seen him going around 3% in auctions - was going to target him on the Chiefs. I might bid 1.5% and see what happens, solely based on Watkins' injury history. But Baltimore would've been great. SF might've been ok since I think Maclin >>> Garcon. But I didn't see any of the other options happening... Detroit wasn't going to bring him in as an overpriced WR3, NO is set at WR, Dallas doesn't have enough targets to go around, Arizona is happy with their guys, etc.bicycle_seat_sniffer said:New coach...new oc....new offensive philosphy......things change fast...perhaps if they roll with mccoy a healthy watkins....zay jones n maclin....they could be dangerous on offense
Well the good news is he's scheduled to visit Baltimore on Wednesday if he doesn't sign with the Bills (which is likely the most ideal spot).But Baltimore would've been great
Yeah, I didn't see BST's post until after I hit submit.Well the good news is he's scheduled to visit Baltimore on Wednesday if he doesn't sign with the Bills (which is likely the most ideal spot).
This is exactly what I was thinking. Maclin is still good and can be a productive fantasy player but needs to be a on a team that throws well. The Ravens seems like the best fit. The Bills may be one of the worst.From a fantasy prospective, I"m hoping for Baltimore.
"The Shark Pool is reserved for sharing NFL talk and fantasy football strategy discussion."Who cares about the Bills? This is a FF forum.
And his fantasy owners say "shut the hell up Hue!"Faust said:
Free agent Jeremy Maclin's visit with the Bills has spilled over into Wednesday.
Maclin arrived in Buffalo early Tuesday and was initially expected to visit the Ravens on Wednesday. Instead, he's being showed around town by former teammate LeSean McCoy and QB Tyrod Taylor, who are putting on the recruiting hats and trying to keep Maclin from leaving town without a contract. We should know something on this front by the end of the day, one way or another.
