Chiefs Rumor: Bowe will stay beyond 2012. - Page 9

Get your grain of salt ready.

I've been told by someone who is extremely close to Dwayne Bowe's brother that there's been a handshake deal in place since the end of last season.
This person went on to say he knew he'd be franchised this season followed by a four-year deal next year from the Chiefs.

I know nothing else, but this person seems very very confident in this information.

That's all I can tell you.

no offense, but that makes no sense

why franchise him and lose Carr for nothing?

Just sign him to that extra year, franchise Carr, case closed.

You think he EVER planned on keeping Carr at that price tag? You think Pioli wants to invest that much in corners?

Just me.

Yeah, but neither does paying gobs of cash to two cb's.

where did i say ANYTHING about keeping Carr?

I said don't lose Carr and get nothing

sign Bowe
Tag Carr

squeeze a draft pick out of Dallas, Carr leaves anyway.

what possible reason would they have for not just signing Bowe to the contract instead of waiting? Even if they did some weird 1 year extension.

They have the salary cap room

Not just you, I think anyone with a brain would agree.

What would the CB tag be this year money wise?

aturnis · 08-17-2012, 09:56 PM

Hell, maybe the rumor got a bit misconstrued down the grapevine. Maybe they actually couldn't come to an agreement before the deadline, forcing Bowe to play under the tag whether he wanted to or not, and Pioli and Bowe's agent kept at it and agreed to a contract in principle, ready to ink when the Chiefs season ends...

Nah, I've seen several references to that in the past month and did a search.

And yes, Classic!
