Chiefs 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.

if Mark Castle was your QB, would you?

It's June. It's a business.

If he's still sitting out come mid-August, I'll start to worry.

Ace Gunner · 06-11-2012, 08:45 AM

"not worried" translation; go to hell, Dwayne.

Ace Gunner · 06-11-2012, 08:47 AM

I was talking to a friend that does radio in LA last night. He said the two sides were $10 million apart and it's all guaranteed money. That is a huge gap.

Here's the problem with this notion bone, Bowe never asked for a trade.

I imagine this is common...it's always like this when guys want a long term deal. This will get done, and Bowe will be a Chief. Gives the other guys a chance for a look in training camp.

True, to some extent. Is their any other "franchised" holdout in the NFL though?

Some guy named Drew Brees.

Another guy named Matt Forte.

Ray Rice.

I think Cliff Avril of Detroit was tagged and held out of OTA's.

Albert Breer Albert Breer ‏@AlbertBreer With tons of minicamps this week and next, important distinction to make: Unsigned, franchised players staying away aren't subject to fines.

Albert Breer ‏@AlbertBreer... So Ray Rice, Matt Forte, Cliff Avril, Dwayne Bowe and Dashon Goldson won't lose a dime by sitting out. Just like Brees didn't last week.

Loads. This shit happens every season. We'll sign him, but this is the stupid dance they do. Hopefully by training camp.

There are 10 franchise guy that havent signed.

Bowe told them the only tag he would sign would be the exclusive one towards the end of last year. That shows how inflated his ego is.

He was pissed when he got the non exclusive tag.

They only have a hair over a month to get something done.

Meanwhile Jonathan Baldwin & other WRs are getting extra reps with his absence in practice. D Bowe can come in late and still be effective when he hits the field, the younger players can use all the reps they can get.

**pr_capone** · 06-11-2012, 09:54 AM

**** it, trade Brees for Bowe + Kasl.

Who is with me?!?!?!?
