ESPN's Adam Schefter reports #Chiefs will franchise tag Dwayne Bowe if no long-term deal is struck before March 5: http://bit.ly/xkI0cJ

ESPN's Adam Schefter reports that the Chiefs plan to use the franchise tag on free agent Dwayne Bowe.
This is assuming the sides can't reach a long-term deal, which they almost certainly won't before the March 5 franchise deadline. The wideout tag is worth $9.5 million, and Bowe would cost at least $11 million a year to lock up. One GM told Schefter that he anticipates "as many as" 25 franchise tags being used this offseason, largely because the salary numbers are down across the board.

what's sad is that you seem to think that this information means your are right about something?

The Chiefs have 2 choices ... tag Bowe or tag Carr

my point was that with all the WR's available in free agency that it might be smarter to tag Carr.

we'll see ...

It's smarter to tag the guy who's spot is already filled on the roster and dedicate 24M to the CB position over the guy who's spot you'd have to replace immediately?

we have enough money to sign anyone we want, it's about value in trade.

who had more value in a tag/trade, Bowe in a bumper WR crop or Carr who might be the best available at his position?

So you can let Bowe walk, tag Carr and trade him, then overpay for another receiver on the market to replace Bowe.

That's a good plan.

Hey, I know, let's trade Carr for a receiver!

Don't want the roster to be overburdened by talent.

I don't know why you think they have all this money they got 30m teams need to save 5m for draft picks.

1.Takes them to 25m Tag bowe 9.5
2.Takes them to 15.5m Must people want a NT atleast 6 to 7m
3.Takes them to 8.5m gotta fix the Oline thats the rest of the cap.

so, wheres the money for Manning or Orton?

O.city · 02-25-2012, 06:14 PM

Use that 8.5 mil instead of getting oline. Get that in the draft.

**BossChief** · 02-25-2012, 06:15 PM

I'd just rather tag Bowe and then tag him again next year (as I understand it, you can tag a player twice at the normal FT rate, then a third time at a higher rate) at that point, sign him to a reasonable deal.

He really no leverage in this.

New cba tag them as many times as you want too.But each time they use it bowe gets a raise of 20%.

Iirc the first two are at the normal rate without the increase.

So we went from 60 million, to 48 million, to 30 million. Are we going to be over the cap next weekend?
