Holmes has done exactly what in his career? Brown has done exactly what in his career? Sure there might be some upside with both of these guys, but I would certainly not want either of them starting as #1, #2 or #3 on my NFL offense...
Yea they were in cap hell and chose to keep other core players instead (Berry, Houston), and have someone they think can replace Maclin in Hill...its quite clear why they chose to part ways with Maclin and it has nothing to do with on or off field performance
