Former Philadelphia Eagles wide receiver Jeremy Maclin announced on Sunday that he is retiring from the NFL after 10 years. Maclin was drafted in the first round in 2009 and spent six seasons with the Eagles alongside DeSean Jackson and LeSean McCoy. He is the 10th leading receiver in Philly franchise history after compiling 343 catches, 4,771 receiving yards and 36 touchdowns. Maclin spent the last three years struggling with the Chiefs and Ravens.
Free-agent wide receiver Jeremy Maclin (gluteus, hamstring) is undergoing surgery on his hamstring/gluteus that has kept him from working out for interested teams and he won't play at all this season. He expects to be ready for 2019. Maclin played in 12 games for the Ravens last year, catching 40 passes (72 targets) for 440 yards and three touchdowns. He hasn't played a full season since his final year in Philadelphia in 2014 and will likely find it hard to find a job in 2019.
Free-agent wide receiver Jeremy Maclin (gluteus, hamstring) is close to being healthy and should have some workouts/visits with receiver-needy teams soon, according to a source. The Eagles came close to signing him before they settled on Jordan Matthews. The veteran wideout should be able to find a team once he proves he's fully healthy, but his fantasy value will all depend on where he lands. He had 40 catches for 440 yards and three touchdowns in just 12 games with the Ravens in 2017. Maclin hasn't played in a full season since his last year with Philly in 2014.
The Baltimore Ravens are releasing wide receiver Jeremy Maclin on Wednesday, according to a source. The 29-year-old Maclin was a major free-agent bust for the Ravens in 2017, posting only 40 receptions for 440 yards (career-low 11.0 yards per catch) and three touchdowns in 12 games. His release makes more sense after the team recently signed wideouts Ryan Grant and John Brown. Entering his age-30 season, Maclin won't have a very robust market for his services, but he's still only two years removed from his second 1,000-yard season.
Baltimore Ravens wide receiver Jeremy Maclin could be a salary cap casualty, as Ravens general manager Ozzie Newsome admitted the team is basically resetting at the wide receiver position. Now 30 (in May), Maclin is a top candidate to be cut, which would clear $5 million in cap space, and 31-year-old Mike Wallace is a free agent. The Baltimore Sun's Jeff Zrebiec does not expect either to be back with the team. Michael Campanaro is also a free agent, and Newsome said training camp is a "make or break" one for 2015 first-rounder Breshad Perriman. Chris Moore would be the only returning receiver, potentially opening the door for the Ravens to be aggressive in their pursuit of Dolphins receiver Jarvis Landry.
Baltimore Ravens wide receiver Jeremy Maclin is a "top candidate to get cut," according to Jamison Hensley of ESPN. The Ravens are strapped for salary cap space and cutting Maclin would create $5 million in additional room. It seems like an easy move considering how little Maclin did even when he was on the field, as he had only 40 catches for 440 yards and three touchdowns in 12 games, but Mike Wallace heading into free agency complicates the decision. Perhaps a pay cut would work for both sides.
Mike Wallace Active, Jeremy Maclin, Breshad Perriman Inactive In Week 17
Baltimore Ravens wide receiver Mike Wallace (knee) is active for Week 17 in a must-win game against the Bengals, while wide receivers Jeremy Maclin (knee) and Breshad Perriman are inactive. Wallace was never expected to miss this game, and he'll be a strong WR3 choice for fantasy owners as quarterback Joe Flacco's favorite weapon, especially with Maclin and Perriman out. Both Maclin and Perriman have been big disappointments this season in what has been a mostly stagnant offense.
Baltimore Ravens wide receiver Jeremy Maclin (knee) didn't practice all week and is doubtful to play in Week 17 against the Bengals. Maclin missed last week's game, too, and Baltimore probably wants to let him rest for a potential playoff run. The veteran wideout hasn't done much for fantasy owners all year. With Maclin out again, Mike Wallace will be a strong WR3 choice this weekend in a must-win game for Baltimore.
Baltimore Ravens wide receiver Jeremy Maclin (knee) remained sidelined at Thursday's practice. Maclin seems poised to close out his first season in Baltimore by missing his second straight game and fourth of the year. Sadly, at age 29, Maclin's career seems to be running on fumes. If Maclin sits out again, Mike Wallace will remain a solid WR3 choice against the Bengals.
Baltimore Ravens wide receiver Jeremy Maclin (knee) remained sidelined at Wednesday's practice. If Maclin again cannot go this week against the Bengals, it will be Mike Wallace, Breshad Perriman, Michael Campanaro, and Chris Moore at receiver.
