Chiefs | Dwayne Bowe has high expectations for offense

Wed, 15 May 2013 13:13:05 -0700
Kansas City Chiefs WR Dwayne Bowe said he expects to lead the NFL in receptions and receiving touchdowns in 2013, and that RB Jamaal Charles will lead the league in rushing this season.
Fantasy Tip: Bowe should receive more targets under head coach Andy Reid but likely will not be a top fantasy wide receiver. He should be viewed as a solid No. 2 wide receiver option. Charles has shown he can be a top fantasy running back and should be an every-week starter in 2013.

Updating a previous report, the Kansas City Chiefs are expected to meet with free-agent OT Eric Winston (Texans) later this week. Specifics are not yet confirmed, but it's in the works.

--------------

I wonder why we would want to meet with him "later this week".

That just screams us being a fallback option.

"We tried people, but by time we had a visit set up, he was already signed.....darn......" 'But we will certainly keep looking......'

You can't let a player think you actually want or need them. You lose your leverage that way. /Pioli

Pioli has thought about calling the agent for every major FA on the market. Somebody left a gum wrapper on his desk and he just can't get near the phone.

And as long as you put in a request to meet with a FA three months out, you can still tell your fans that you 'tried'.

[O.city]

I know everyone on CP is pissed about FA, but who has been signed elsewhere that you wish we could have gotten?

I'm looking at Pioli's laundry list. How can a team have so much cap space and still look for the cheapest free agents? This team can't even have a cup of coffee with Manning. They let every other feasible option to challenge Cassel go by without an effort. Day one of FA and Pioli is already into second tier players.

That is an entirely reasonable and rational question. What is it doing on CP?

[Kylo Ren]

Several new updates....

[Kylo Ren]

Do you really believe the Chiefs have a chance to sign Tolbert?

[Kylo Ren]

Marcus McNeil anyone?

Denver has 40 million of cap space and, if they don't sign Manning, are screwed in that the best FAs are gone. I hope PM keeps them on the fence for another week or two while we get Winston and Schwartz signed and then PM decides to go to Tennessee. The Denver fans will be right to go nuts ... all that cap space gone to waste.

Meanwhile, a FA period for us that includes Routt, Hillis, Boss, Winston, and Schwartz would be huge for us, regardless of space we have left. Winston and Routt will not count against the compensation picks we might get for Carr, Orton, McClain, and any others because they were cut prior to our signing.

[Setsuna]

LOL Cotchery? That's terrible. Manningham is way better than that old man. I mean come on.

Except Hillis and Boss are bad signings. But yeah include that in the HUGE part.

[scho63]

I haven't seen this anywhere...if it's already posted I'll delete

SATURDAY
NFL Network is reporting right tackle Eric Winston is still in Kansas City, which may be an indication the Chiefs have a good chance of signing him.\\

This would be good

How the **** are either bad signings? You know what a bad signing would be? Signing Mario Manningham like you suggested to a multi year contract to be a 4th WR.
