The Kansas City Chiefs announced Friday the club has released wide receiver Jeremy Maclin.

“These decisions are never easy, especially with a player like Jeremy who I’ve grown close with on and off the football field over the years,” said Chiefs Head Coach Andy Reid. “I have a lot of respect for the way he goes about his business and how he handles himself as a professional. I wish him the best of luck moving forward.”

Maclin has played in 102 games (100 starts) in eight NFL season with the Kansas City Chiefs (2015-2016) and Philadelphia Eagles (2009-2014).
