The Kansas City Chiefs made the expected move of releasing Dwayne Bowe on Thursday, according to the wide receiver.

Bowe sent a tweet that said he no longer will be with the team. The move was expected after the Chiefs signed wide receiver Jeremy Maclin to a five-year, $55 million contract on Wednesday.

Bowe tweeted: “I want to thank the entire Chiefs organization from the bottom of my heart. You believed in me and gave me the chance to play in the NFL. I will be forever grateful.”

The Chiefs’ first-round pick in 2007, Bowe caught 532 passes for 7,155 yards and 44 touchdowns in eight years. He led the NFL with 10 touchdown catches in 2010.

However, his production had fallen off over the last three seasons. Last season, he caught just 60 passes for 754 yards and no touchdowns.

Bowe, 30, was scheduled to make $11 million this year, and the Chiefs will save $5 million against the salary cap by releasing him.
