#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.

where is the official CP panic mode Bowe hasn't signed watch- thread?

I like how everyone points to the one writing the contract and ignores the person who has to sign it.

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

it was either joey galloway or roy williams, BOTH by the cowboys.

Yeah, nobody would trade a 3rd rounder in the process avoiding any bidding wars for a top 15 CB. Okaaaayyyyyy

Worst case scenario you just go down and down until a team is willing to trade for him. I highly doubt DET or DAL would not be willing to give up a 3rd for him. Lets just say for arguement sake that they don't. U really think they wouldn't give up a late round pick?

Even if the Chiefs were somehow not able to unload him for a quality pick and wer looking at cap trouble if they kept him, you think they couldn't give him up for a 5th or 6th?

I understand your point, I just don't think its very realistic that a team wouldn't trade them some pick for him. Worst case scenario the Chiefs give him up for less than they should. With the teams that would want him, and how the tag/trade has played out over time, I think its pretty safe to say the Chiefs could get a decent pick for him. Certainly wouldn't have to worry about being on the hook for the money.

I worked for vendor companies for Costco, meaning the companies that have to deal with all the shit when people return anything and everything to Costco for no good reason.

Carr walking for nothing is shit! If for some crazy reason a team does want Bowe bad enough to fork over two ones then RG3 would be ours.

Bowe will be a Chief one more year at least, that's good.

Guys, the Chiefs would be signing next to no free agents outside of their own they want to keep if they somehow re-signed Bowe and franchised Carr. They don't have 60 million in cap space, or close to it.

When do teams officially have to be under the cap? The Chiefs would be rid of Carr's cap by April the latest, probably before then.
