June 6 (UPI) -- The Buffalo Bills and Baltimore Ravens have planned visits with Jeremy Maclin. The Cleveland Browns are also interested in the free agent.

The Kansas City Chiefs cut Maclin on Friday. Immediately after his release, Bills running back LeSean McCoy said he was "recruiting" his former teammate. Bills quarterback Tyrod Taylor said he was also interested in contacting the wide receiver.

On Tuesday, the Cleveland Plain Dealer reported that the Browns have done their "due diligence" on Maclin and "inquired" about the free agent.

Browns coach Hue Jackson was asked about Maclin at OTAs on Tuesday.

"That's a good thing if we did [inquire]," Jackson told reporters. "I don't know much about that. One thing I know about our group is that we're going to continue to look at ways to improve our football team. I've said that numerous times, and I give Sashi [Brown] a lot of credit for that. I think we're always out there looking. If there's a player available, we're going to take a look at him and see if he can help our football team."
