Jeremy Maclin Rumors: Bills, Ravens Reportedly Expect WR's Decision Monday

Free-agent wide receiver Jeremy Maclin is expected to decide between signing with the Buffalo Bills or Baltimore Ravens on Monday.

Ian Rapoport of NFL Network reported both teams are prepared for Maclin to decide his next destination imminently.

The Kansas City Chiefs released Maclin on June 2.

The 29-year-old receiver spent the last two seasons in Kansas City, setting a career high in receptions in 2015 (87) before an injury-plagued 2016 helped facilitate his departure. He recorded 44 receptions for 536 yards in 12 games last season, roughly half of what he put up in his first year with the team.

"Shocked," quarterback Alex Smith said of the release, per Blair Kerkhoff of the Kansas City Star. "Jeremy is a really good friend, an amazing teammate, so still kind of just processing that he's not going to be in there with us, a guy that's done a lot for us the last two years, a guy I've grown really close to."

Maclin met with the Bills and Ravens last week. There is a chance he could wind up being the No. 1 receiver on either roster.

Buffalo has Sammy Watkins penciled into that slot, but the former first-round pick has been oft-injured since being drafted in 2014. The Ravens have their own injury issues, with Breshad Perriman still looking to break out, and their next-best wideout is veteran Mike Wallace.

Pro Football Focus ranked Maclin 78th among wide receivers last season. That far undersells what he can bring to the table when healthy, and whichever team winds up landing him will expect more than his 2016 performance level.
