#chiefs have placed the franchise tag on wr Dwayne Bowe.

Chiefs make Bowe their franchise player

The Chiefs today named Dwayne Bowe, their top wide receiver the past five seasons, as their franchise player, a move that effectively keeps him off the free-agent market.

As part of that transaction, the Chiefs offered Bowe a one-year contract worth about $9.5 million. Bowe can sign the contract at any time or the sides could negotiate a long-term contract.

As the franchise player, Bowe could still negotiate a contract with another team. But the Chiefs would have the right to match the offer and retain Bowe. If they decline to match, the Chiefs would lose Bowe but receive two first-round draft picks as compensation.

He's really exponentially better than Cassel; their career statistics are just lies. Total. Lies.

Scott Pioli on Dwayne Bowe: 'We felt it was in the best interest of the Kansas City Chiefs to place the tag on Dwayne.'

Bye, Carr. Work out a long time contract with Bowe and don't let the tag go to waste.

COchief · 03-05-2012, 02:58 PM

Way to let Carr walk for nothing Pioli you fat piece of shit. All because you failed in your responsibility to sign a WR we drafted and developed that has produced every single god damn year with whatever shit QB we have thrown out there including your handpicked abomination. That's a first or second round pick walking out the door, all because you sat on your fat ass eating chicken wings instead of locking Bowe up last season.

Eat shit and die, and take Cassel with you!

When was the last time a tagged player got 2 1st?

Has it ever happened? Just saying I think any notion of that is about as realistic as us retaining Brandon Carr.

Basically use that money we saved on letting Carr walk by signing Peyton and Pioli is forgiven for allowing it to happen. If we pussy foot around, and don't get a QB worth a shit, then Pioli can once again **** himself.

If V Jackson leaves the AFC west Flowers and Routt are gonna have easy games vs the AFC WEST.

To me forgiven is signing Bowe, tagging Carr, and getting a first or even a 2nd for himi.

**Rain Man** · 03-05-2012, 03:09 PM

Are we seriously letting Carr walk? That really hurts. I liked him.

Top flight receivers are tough to come by. Plus we have a bazillion dollars in cap room. How hard of a decision is it? Plus he's going to sign long term anyways eventually, so the only difference in the end result I can see is that we let Carr walk for nothing instead of a tag and trade for a 1st or 2nd.

All because Pioli failed to do his job.

Why would a team give the chiefs a 1 or a 2? when they know the chiefs are gonna trade him? Chiefs would have no leverage.
