Holdout seen flying to Kansas City Friday

UPDATED 4:14 PM CDT Aug 10, 2012

KANSAS CITY, Mo. -
Holdout wide receiver Dwayne Bowe has reached agreement with the Kansas City Chiefs over his contract dispute, a source has told KMBC 9 News.

Bowe, who has missed all of the team's training camp, was spotted flying to Kansas City on Friday afternoon.

Bowe, 27, had been holding out while trying to get a long-term contract. He did not sign one before the league deadline for a long-term deal expired last month.

The Chiefs named him their nonexclusive franchise player last spring, which meant the team would have to offer him a one-year contract that would make him one of the five highest-paid players in the league. He could negotiate with other teams, but the Chiefs would have the right to match the offer or get two first-round draft picks as compensation.

The Chiefs have not yet confirmed that Bowe has reached an agreement with them.

The team plays its first preseason game of the year against the Arizona Cardinals Friday night at Arrowhead Stadium.

So does this mean Bowe can hold out until Week 10 or what? /reeruns

Next year the salary floor kicks in and they will have to spend quite a bit.

Not sure how that could be possible with the new rules.

I believe deals can be negotiated and agreed upon, just not signed.

Exactly, you miss the string of 100+ degree days, get 9.5 this year, we sign you to this deal next year.
you have to trust each other though. Sketchy. I know.

But the lack of anything going public, VERY STRANGE IMO, shows things might not be as contested as most think. Not very common that a franchise tag situation goes as smoothly as this one publicly, excepting the missed camp time. No, numbers thrown around publicly from either side, which normally happens in these situations for one side attempting to leverage public opinion towards them

yup. And also take into consideration that they have been working on this contract since at least the Jets game of last year.

On KCTV5 the sports dude just said he asked the PR department if Bowe had signed and they said "That's news to us."...however someone tweeted a photo of him on a flight to KC from Atlanta.

I personally know several people on the PR staff and let's just say they aren't exactly the sharpest tools in the shed. They're tools, yes, just not sharp ones.

Would they have to cut someone right before the first preseason game?

No Cause Bowe is still on the rosters just way way down on the Depth chart of the WR

He's flying in with a bag full of candy wrappers to dump in Pioli's office, he's not signing.
