I find it ironic that people are bashing Bowe because there weren't reports of top contending teams being interested in him or because a top-tier QB wasn't offering to take a paycut to acquire him while at the same time praising Jeremy Maclin although there weren't any reports of top-tier teams and top-tier QBs clamoring for him, either.

Dead money is the pro-rated bonus money already paid and/or guaranteed money you owe him even after he's cut.

You'd think he'd be longing to play for a franchise with a half-decent QB for at least one season of his career. Even if he had to play for the league minimum. For a WR, spending your entire career with us and the Browns is almost like not playing in the NFL at all.

Wasn't maclin set on either Philly or here? He said there was some other interest but everybody pretty much knew it was us or them.

The point was about where he wanted to play, something which generally influences the interest level of other potential suitors, or lack thereof.
We actually see it happen all the time with high profile free agents. Their destination is set long in advance of actual free agency, there aren't bidding wars all that often, unless it's a situation like Sanders last year where an agent plays one team off another to raise the price and the guy still ends up where he wanted to be all along. And the reasons for maclin to want to come here are obvious: home region, coach he likes, system he knows. That's not something that anywhere else in the league could offer, in addition to the contract. |

Well, at least when Bowe shows up with the munchies, Johnny Football can give him a Snickers.
