Will "Bowe Show" Show?

Romeo Crennel not worried about absent Dwayne Bowe

Dwayne Bowe remains M.I.A. to this point at Kansas City Chiefs' organized team activities, and his time away from the team could turn into an extended absence, according to the Kansas City Star.

Coach Romeo Crennel, however, said he's not concerned about when Bowe, who's upset over his contract situation, will return.

"We're going to win with whoever we have," Crennel said. "If he's with us, we'd like that to happen. If he's not, then we're going to work with the guys we've got here."

Bowe is reportedly unhappy the team placed the franchise tag on him this offseason and has no plans to sign it. He is believed to be seeking a long-term deal.

Bowe would make $9.5 million in 2012 if he signed his franchise tender.

Already thin at the position, the Chiefs were also missing last year's first-round pick Jonathan Baldwin during Friday's practice session because of a migraine. The team previously said that Dexter McCluster, their jack-of-all-trades weapon, will be used at wideout this season.

Bowe put together a breakout season in 2010, when he hauled in 15 touchdowns. He followed that up by catching 81 passes for 1,159 yards and five TDs this past season.

Chiefs WR Dwayne Bowe has no plans to sign franchise tag


Kansas City Chiefs wideout Dwayne Bowe has no plans to sign his franchise tag soon, a source with knowledge of the situation said Thursday, contrary to an Internet report.

Bowe, like other franchise players who have yet to sign their tags, is hoping to get a long-term deal, but nothing is imminent. The NFL's deadline for franchised players to agree to a long-term contract is July 15.

Bowe would make $9.5 million in 2012 if he signed his franchise tender.

You will notice Bowe is right up there in all those stats with the Saints receivers. His TDs are a little down, but considering he had Palko for a significant time that is no surprise. Given what Bowe had as his QB he still put up comparable numbers BECAUSE he is always the first, middle, and last option. And we complain about checkdowns, but notice Bowe's Yds/Rec is basically the same as even the top downfield guys on the Saints. I just don't think his poor QB play is something that would affect any decision given that with Cassel he KNOWS every pass play is basically his play to recieve the ball. That is not the case with a guy like Brees at QB. So from a stats standpoint I am not sure he would see much difference, and maybe even less production with a guy like Brees. These numbers also just go to show how good Bowe is.

These are the Saints Receivers:
_____________________Rec Yards Yds/R Long TD
Jimmy Graham__________99, 1,310, 13.2, 59, 11
Darren Sproles__________86, 710, 8.3, 39, 7
Marques Colston________80, 1,143, 14.3, 50, 8
Lance Moore___________52, 627, 12.1, 47, 8
Pierre Thomas__________50, 425, 8.5, 57, 1
Robert Meachem________40, 620, 15.5, 67, 6
Devery Henderson_______32, 503, 15.7, 79, 2

Here is Bowe:__________81, 1,159, 14.3, 52, 5
Steve Breaston_________61, 785, 12.9, 43, 2
Dexter McCluster________46, 328, 7.1, 49, 1

the WR's in NO sure seem like they put up better numbers than those stats show.


maybe its just because they have a real QB that can spread the ball around.

Yeah that is probably the case. They throw the ball so much but like you said Brees spreads it around as good as anybody there is. Just to take it a little further Bowe caught 27% of our completed passes and Jimmy Graham caught 21% of completed passes and the top WR (Colston) only caught 17% of the completed passes.

Let's take it even further -- with a 1st time HC and former WR coach that "never knew wtf he was doing and constantly picked on his players, particularly his wideouts" and with Bowe in his final contract season, plus a "tightwad GM" and his penchant for trading players "in their prime", plus a tardo QB that "constantly makes his WR's LOOK BAD" why then would Dwayne Bowe NOT ask for a trade before the 2011 season even started?

Your just saying that cuz your a dildo donky fan. D Bowe will be fine this year as a Chief in camp on time.

Bowe: I'll be at training camp
CBSSports.com Fantasy — Chiefs wide receiver Dwayne Bowe told Arrowhead Pride that while he's holding out from the team's offseason workouts, he plans to report to training camp on-time in late July. Bowe was designated as the Chiefs' franchise player this offseason, guaranteeing him a one-year deal at $9.5 million, but he'd like a long-term contract. However, it sounds like he'll sign the offer before camp kicks off. "I'll be there," Bowe said. "I'm staying in shape until it's time to sign on the dotted line."

Oh noes a couple of weeks ago, he said this, not an hour ago. Everybody panic.

The date is irrelevant, it's the CONTENT that is important. He said he'd be here in JULY. It's not July, so you can stop stirring the shit.

I"m not stirring shit. I don't thin this is any big deal, it's a star player using his leverage in a contract year.
I just didn't know if you had noticed that you were using a quote from a couple weeks ago to counteract more recent articles.

Good enough. I just prefer to take Bowe at his word over conjecture and speculation. He said he would be here in time for training camp and I believe him.

Not many veterans really want to attend OTA's and mini camps.
This is their way out of that.

Bowe as well as the other veterans around the league that are doing the same thing will sign the day they have to and will be at training camp.

Then add the current and future failures of this Coaching staff... I would want to get the **** out of dodge and fast...

Yep. He doesn't need OTA like the younger guys. What's he gonna' do, sit out and forgo $9 million this year?

Exactly. $9 million or nothing. It's a no-brainer, that he'll sign.
