I heard they signed Colquitt too.
If this is true, and we hold all three guys, now we need to get another wide out to replace Breaston, a starting corner to replace Routt, and a fullback to block for Charles.

I agree with all of that, but how about a QB with some talent? I hope like heck they make me eat crow and draft Smith now.

[CaliforniaChief]

Good moves today. I would still like to see them get Albert done long-term to put this Joeckel bullshit to bed once-for-all.

Oh yeah, and can we hang Matt Miller by the nuthooks for his last tweet? Idiot.

[CupidStunt]

Can't wait for a 2013 cap number to see how the team's cap space sits. Albert's tag, Bowe's 2013 number, plus Colquitt's I suppose, and ASmith ... what's left?

[DJ's left nut]

I said it in the tag thread and I'll repeat it here - Bowe has done as much or more than anyone I can remember in years to earn a long-term deal. He's dealt with some crazy coaches, he's grown through some initial immaturity, he's improved his ancillary skills and he's just turned into a hell of a player.

Top 10? Hell, I dunno, but he's definitely top 15-20 and he's a legitimate #1 wide receiver. He's a hard worker, he's a known quantity and by God, love him or hate him, he's our guy - a Chief from the start.

I couldn't be happier to see him get this deal - it's very much deserved.

If true that means you're probably looking at around $24mm over three years with the 4th and 5th seasons being inflated. Just a guess.

[Nightfyre]

Now that we have Bowe re-signed, we can call off the Alex Smiff deal.

Pioli couldn't have given him 5 for 50 with 24 guaranteed last year and tag Carr? He really did suck.

If true that means you're probably looking at around $24mm over three years with the 4th and 5th seasons being inflated. Just a guess.

Probably, but if it's 'only' $50 million, with as young as Bowe is, you wouldn't really be hurt by just making it even for all 5 years so you're not scrambling to deal with this again in 3 years.

I think I'd have just made it a pretty flat figure.

Yeah, no shit.

5/$50 is just insanely fair and if Pioli refused to give him that, fuck him. We gave up Carr because Pioli tried to low-ball the best WR the franchise has had in 40 years.

When Kaep started, Crab finally went over 1,000 for the first time in 9 years for the niners. Remember, Gore was there also drawing all the attention.

1,000 yards is not a difficult feat to achieve. For example, 20 guys had 1,000+ yards including guys like Hartline from Miami with Tannehill, Steve Johnson in Buffalo with Fitzpatrick were able to put up 1,000 yards.

Crabtree was always there. It was his QB who didn't "show up."

Crabs was often seen frustrated when Smith threw 5 yard check downs when he was wide open.

TE's don't normally get 1,000 yards but they do. Witten did it this year, Gates and Jimmy Graham in the past. Vernon Davis is on par with those guys, receiving wise. Gronk has done it and Hernandez is up there as well.

We've had WRs like Antonio Bryant who had 1,000 yard seasons before they arrived here and after here.

Brandon Llloyd barely sniffed 700 yards with smith but went on to have a monster season with the Broncos and had 900+ this year with Brady.

[Tribal Warfare]

Chiefs agree to contracts with Bowe, Colquitt, put franchise tag on Albert (http://www.kansascity.com/2013/03/04/4099671/chiefs-agree-to-contracts.html)
By ADAM TEICHER
The Kansas City Star
The Chiefs agreed to terms with wide receiver Dwayne Bowe on a five-year contract Monday and effectively kept their other top potential free agent, left tackle Branden Albert, off the market by declaring him a franchise player.

The Chiefs also agreed to contract terms with punter Dustin Colquitt, another potential free agent.

By designating Albert as a franchise player, the Chiefs have offered him a one-year contract worth $9.83 million.

“We felt it was in the best interest of the Kansas City Chiefs to place the tag on Branden,” Chiefs general manager John Dorsey said in a statement announcing the move. “We will continue to negotiate with Branden and his agent to reach a deal that is mutually beneficial. We are looking forward to working with Branden in the near future.”

Albert told The Star that while his agent and the Chiefs had talked about a long-term contract, they were nowhere close to an agreement.

“I’m happy for Dustin and Bowe and I’m happy for the organization. That’s all I’ve got to say about it. Bowe deserves it. Colquitt deserves it. The organization locked up three players that are going to help them win.”

Bowe, who the Chiefs made a franchise player last season after both sides couldn’t agree on a long-term contract, has been the Chiefs’ leading receiver for the past four seasons following Tony Gonzalez’s trade to Atlanta.

“When we first arrived, one of the first items on our agenda was signing Dwayne,” Dorsey said in a statement confirming the new contract, of which terms were not disclosed. “He’s been a key player on our offense and is one of the premier players at his position. We are pleased that Dwayne will be a member of this team for years to come.”

Bowe posted a message on his Facebook and Twitter accounts that read: “On vacation till I got the call that changed my life. I wanna thank the Hunt Family & the Chiefs organization.”

“I’m very blessed to be a member of the Kansas City Chiefs,” Bowe added in a statement released by the Chiefs. “The Hunt family and the fan base have been very supportive over the years, and I am looking forward to working with John and Coach Reid in the near future. I’m excited to continue my career with the Chiefs and hopefully help this team reach our goals.”

Colquitt had one of the best seasons of his NFL career last season, when he was chosen to the AFC’s Pro Bowl team. According to ESPN’s Adam Schefter, Colquitt’s contract is for five years and $18.75 million, making him the highest-paid punter in the NFL.

The Chiefs did not disclose the terms of Colquitt’s contract but did release a statement confirming the agreement.

“John and I knew right away that we’d like to keep Dustin in a Chiefs uniform,” Chiefs coach Andy Reid said. “He’s worked hard at his craft and has become one of the best punters in the NFL. He’s got a strong leg and the ability to pin opponents deep in their own territory. We are happy we were able to come to an agreement.”

Albert was able to start only one of the last six games of the season because of back spasms. The Chiefs were evidently confident enough in his ability to withstand the punishment of another season.

Retaining Albert for just one year wouldn’t seem to preclude the Chiefs from taking a left tackle, either Luke Joeckel of Texas A&M or Eric Fisher of Central Michigan, with the first pick in the draft. Albert said he has had no discussions about the possibility of changing positions with Reid or offensive line coach Andy Heck but indicated the point was moot.

Yup

You guys got, at best, the 12th best QB in the league.

What's the point for a 2-14 team to do this? Its a retread.

Teicher: DON'T WORRY, CHIEFS FANS! That pesky guard playing in the vaunted LT spot may have been tagged, but that doesn't mean the Chiefs won't continue the search to find that Willie Roaf we all want! Keep praying to Big Ugly Fatty Jeebus, and with a little patience we will one day draft our franchise LT that will protect the way to the Super Bowl for the Chiefs!

Bowe may at times be dumber than a bag of hammers, but damnit; he's got talent, works hard, wants to win, has heart, soldiered some really shitty years and changes, and shows a little moxie from time to time. He's pretty much won me over. Enjoy the Benjamins, brah.

Not a trustworthy source.

[Rock Action]

Well he'd better work on shortening those routes now....

[penbrook]

Not a trustworthy source.

So what have they gotten wrong so far.

First one to break the Alex Smith trade.

First one to give the contract numbers for Bowe which is identical to what is reported.

First one to say the chiefs will not let B Albert hit free agency when everyone thought he would.

Do you know the difference between guessing and actually reporting news?

Congratulations on them guessing.

5/60 with 32 guaranteed is not what Bowe got.

[Hammock Parties]

PFC is reporting 5/60 32 guaranteed.

That's embarrassing since 810 already reported 5/50/24.

[BigMeatballDave]

Chiefs got a great deal. Bowe's deal is less than Jackson's.

[007]

***** couldn't have given him 5 for 50 with 24 guaranteed last year and tag Carr? He really did suck.

Pioli also said he would have tagged Bowe again this year.

[durtyrute]

Let's hope ol Smithy boy can actually hit a WR in stride; something CassAss hardly ever did.

[Sweet Daddy Hate]

Yeah if you're gonna dream, dream the impossible right?

Dwayne Bowe's 5 yr deal with KC is worth $56M with $26M guaranteed. He gets $11M per year. We'll see if Wallace and Jennings can do the same

Guess everyone was wrong on the contract numbers.

2 Million less than Cassel's guaranteed bonus

[ChiefMojo]

A c**t hair more than Jackson... So what most originally expected.

[Mr. Flopnuts]

Albert Breer‏@AlbertBreer

Those are really, really solid numbers for Dwayne Bowe. I'm not sure he'd have commanded that much on the free agent market.




Don't give a fuck. I think he would, but I don't really care. He's earned that money and no one in the league needs him like we do.

[MotherfuckerJones]

Ian Rapoport ‏@RapSheet
More on #Chiefs WR Dwayne Bowe: His signing bonus is $15M. He'll earn $36M over the first three years.

Thats a complete bullshit statement by breer! He and Wallace would have blown up! Players always get way overpaid in FA. Wallace is gona clean the fuck up because of this

[BigMeatballDave]

Okay, so a little more than VJ.

Still a good deal.

[NJChiefsFan]

10 mil, 11 mil a yr Idk. I also don't agree he wouldn't have gotten that on the market.

[Pasta Little Brioni]

Who cares. He's worth that to KC.

[Dixie Land]

Let's hope ol Smithy boy can actually hit a WR in stride; something CassAss hardly ever did.

UH OH...you just hit the sore spot....actually this is what Smith does the worst...He is good at checkdowns, hitting the seams in zone, timing plays but hitting a WR in stride (specially past 20 yards) is his shortcoming or one of...lets hope they work on this...

[silver5liter]

Cool thing is that I hear his signing bonus is large and reduces his cap hit to only 4 mil this year.

[Pasta Little Brioni]

Andy probably gets as angry as when he's sandwich guarding thinking about Scooter letting Carr get away last year.

looks like a restructure will take place next offseason. wow.....

[BossChief]

Why would they structure the cap hit so low in the first year?

Leave room to ink Albert?

Swap picks with NY for Revis with a extension?

Looking to fill holes in free agency to free up top pick for QB?

[mcaj22]

its gross that Cassel and Tyson Jackson still have a bigger cap number than Bowe

absolutely gross, if they cut those two than Bowe has the biggest hit on the team and that's real cheap compared to the salaries of most team's good players. our best players are signed very cheap for their production

[Sassy Squatch]

Hali counts for 15 mil against the cap this season. Cut Cassel, restructure/cut Jackson, catch Hali when he is toking up and get him to restructure and get Albert off of the tag and onto a long term deal. That would give us a shitton of money AFTER we took care of the big 3 this year.

[DJ's left nut]

lol so much for "i hear the cap hit is reduced"

my ass

Huh?

Just exactly how do you expect them to magically never have to deal with the cap hit?

It's pretty damn tough to move a cap hit beyond the first year and still try to add guaranteed money. Yeah, they did reduce the cap hit here.

I just don't think they should have. It would've been smarter to simply spread the hit evenly throughout the deal, unless they have eyes on restructuring some later cap money into this season from other players through extensions w/ roster bonuses, etc...

[Hammock Parties]

Bowe IMMEDIATELY flew home after this deal got done, so I take that as a good sign.

He posted this on twitter.
