Chiefs offered Bowe in return for a 1st last night...
 

...and could find no takers.

Heard that on 810 this morning on the way to work. Don't have a link.

Don't give a crap if this is old news. Didn't see it anywhere.



EDIT: Provided by GoChiefs

@RUSSLANDE just told us that the Chiefs tried to trade Dwayne Bowe yesterday, but nobody was willing to offer a first round pick for him.

great...let's get rid of our good players

Yup. **** that fat ****ing asshole named Scott Pioli.

He is death.

lol i hope this leaks and pisses Bowe off

that will create some fun

ROFL


They couldn't even get a 1st rounder for Bowe. That should tell everyone something.

This year or next?

let's get rid of the only proven WR we have...

For just a 1st? Yeah no thanks.

We'll keep our top 10 WR thank you.

.... If he had a real QB throwing to him, I think he could be top 5.

Not worried about his contract at all. They'll sign him to a long term deal.

That's probably the real reason why KC took so long to make their pick.

yeah for one more year lol

Ok, let's say we got offered a 12-15 range pick.

Do we trade Bowe for that? Who the **** are we going to take there who's day 1 better than Bowe?...

That Pioli sucks.

In a draft that's not strong in 1st round talent at WR...

Peter pan.

They probably would have taken Floyd.

why?

how often are WRs traded for firsts?

i dont think thats the case at all. i think there should be a panic that the sides are so far apart, and maybe the Chiefs know something fans don't. (like Bowe is absolutely not interested in staying longer than this year.) Why not get something to groom for your team NOW, rather than having Bowe walk just like Carr.

Carr and Bowe put the Chiefs in a very awful position, because they stand to lose both by the start of next season. And losing TWO in house guys makes the FO look pathetic.

I'm assuming it was for a pick last night. There was some chatter last night that the Cheifs were attepmting to trade back into the first round. Maybe this was how they were doing it. :shrug:

I don't believe NO team would give up a 1st for Bowe.

Anything from KC sports media is best, taken with a grain of salt.

I was alluding to the fact that Bowe isn't as amazing at his position as a lot of people think.


I would think that a top 5 WR, which a lot of homers believe he is, would demand at least one late first rounder.

An absolutely unimpeachable source for this rumor, no doubt.

I do. You give up a first round pick, plus you have to pay him a huge-ass salary.

:thumb: Thank you!

I really didn't think much of any QB after the 1st two. Definitely not in the 1st round.

Now, if there's that top 5 QB next year and we can package Bowe+picks to move up and grab our guy I'm ok with that. I don't want to trade bowe for Tannehill but if we could give up Bowe and a few less picks to move up for an RGIII type player...well....that'd be different...

We would never get a first round pick for Bowe. Nobody is going to give a premium pick and then pay Bowe a huge contract. Two seconds or a second and a third is the best the Chiefs could hope to get for Bowe.

again, is there any evidence for this?


more importantly, who cares?

he's really good, he's our #1, and we need to sign him

Well, there's that.

This could be a way to lower Bowe's asking price.


Say you tried to trade him for a first, no one wants to do it, he lowers his asking price?

Yep. Bowe sucks. Cut him.

Hey Pioli, how about offering some 1st round picks and BOWE to the Rams 2 months ago, you piece of crap.

THIS.

Rams get a solid WR and we get our QB.

Missouri wins...

This is all speculation, but I think its more likely that Bowe was asking for a ridiculous contract submarining his value.

I don't see why we can't spend some money to lock up one of the best players on our team. We weren't approaching the cap last year, or this year, there's no reason why we couldn't have front-loaded a contract to pay the guy.

When the offseason came we should have resigned Bowe and Carr first. Anyone after that is bonus...

A 1st would be a lot to give up considering the contact he wants.

I didn't think about that initially.

LOL.


Bowe is a good WR, nothing more, nothing less. One thing is certain, he is not worth top 5 money.

Besides, how would you feel if the team you played for contiuously started a piece of shit at QB, and that POS QB is directly tied to your production?


He is as good as gone after this year, so why not get something for him?

Every time some bullshit rumor gets spread around this board all you knee jerk jerks start spewing projectile feces out of your keyboards about how terrible the Chiefs and every one connected with the team are.

Hell, I've even seen someone start a new thread with a "What would you think if the Chiefs did so-and-so" and immediately 100 posters will reply by saying they can't believe those damn Chiefs are considering such a thing.

This place is Tard City...LMAO

i do think the Chiefs made a strong effort to try and get a head of this and get something with Bowe done. Hence the franchise. I think the Chiefs hoped that when they made the decision to franchise Bowe over Carr that it would automatically tell and show Bowe they want him and make it easier in contract discussions.

If the Chiefs have been making attempts to OPEN discussions and Bowe and his agents just dont give a shit and set the bar at some extreme value, what do you want the Chiefs to do. It puts the FO in an awful position.

You didn't have any of this with Tamba Hali. Though Tamba didnt sign a long term til training camp, you damn well better believe from the start he was franchised, he signed the tender and negotiations had been going on well through the summer, he had even come out and said he wanted to stay with the Chiefs and the team and Tamba were able to meet in a perfect middle somewhere. It's very well possible Bowe is doing the opposite of all that.

If Bowe doesn't budge for whatever reason, there is nothing the team can do. And that very well maybe the case here. It could be similar to Vincent Jackson in San Diego. He doesnt care, he does what he wants and ends up elsewhere and the team gets nothing.

I dont even see this as big news honestly. It doesn't change anything in my mind. Bowe either plays or he doesnt and he gets paid or he doesn't.

I think it shows nobody was willing to give up a 1st and pay him so that does set his value some.

Why do dumb Chiefs fans undervalue our great players?

I was thinking about this when Pittsburgh was coming around, if Bowe's not going to sign a long term and wants out, that should have been the target.

Pittsburgh avoids Bowe-like players.

I don't believe this for one second.

Maybe the Chiefs really did like Michael Floyd.

GoChiefs provided a link. I don't think it is a bullshit rumor.

Yup.

Once Burress started to look like a problem they let him walk...

Mike Wallace?

I don't either. It is fun to play the game, though.

Todd is now their OC .....

This is not "news". This is a "rumor".

Unless it was on twitter, in that case it must be legit.

Its easy to do that when you have a ****ing QB.

And Ben is a QB that likes to ****....

This.


QB makes everyone look better.

You guys.... seriously.

Bowe has had zero character issues. He's a high character, elite talent at WR.

Trading him off would have been disasterous. I'm glad we failed.

i agree.

Why would the Chiefs do that?

I was comparing the money part of it.

The elite WR's they have dropped in the past weren't exactly known as bad people until they left the Steelers. They wanted a shit-ton of money and Pittsburgh said no thanks.

Water is wet and fire is hot...

You're stating nothing new here, whatsoever. This place is full of morons and dickshits that expect something new every April but never get it.

I am damn proud to say that I did not watch one minute of the Draft last night. Not a ****ing second of it. I knew the Chiefs would pick who they always pick, Glentyson Jackdorsey. I was right.

Today they'll pick some project WR or DB and then in round 3 or 4, we'll get another QBOTF that specializes in clip-board holding and he will become the next headset wearing Joe Montana according to 85% of the CP population.

Bowe's probably making some noise about signing with the chiefs because KC has nada QB on the roster worth a crap.

Even if she doesn't want to.


Buh dump bump

Someone tell me why isn't trading Bowe going to save Pioli money?

Damn it Pioli.

When she screams,"Somebody help me!!!!!!!!" she really means "Yes".

No one can stop Ben Ruthlessrapist from scoring!1!:cuss:

I call bullshit.

No. Bowe is clearly average. Notorious said so. Cut him.

I've heard that Bowes contract demands were reasonable till the Megatron deal.

Same draft class, similar production.

"I want the moon and all the cheese in it!"

JFC LMAO guess we hadn't reached full reerun yet.

I'm suuuuure the Rams would have jumped at that.

Sounds legit. Where'd you hear the rumor?

This.

Since when does 200yds & 3TDs more per season equal similar production?

Normally, I'd say some sarcastic comment and be done with it, but no...this actually pisses me off. He's the lone reason we have any semblance of a passing attack. You could either have Carr or Bowe, you chose Bowe, so now you better damn well sign his ass to longer than a year.

Come on man, there's ZERO comparison between Bowe and Hopalong Cassidy.

Egg-freakin-zackly.

SHUT
THE
****
UP
!!!!!!

I didn't say Bowe was capping himself, I said a problem.

Burress was acting the prima donna and wanting the big money. He wasn't worth top 10 money and they let him walk.

Rumor if true, What if Bowe or his agent requested a trade. We don't know shit.

A link to some tweet?!!?!

Good grief...LMAO

So it sounds like the plan really was to draft Floyd at 11, and Poe with our second 1st... wow. I wonder if we will consider 2 2nd's or try and retain him

Whatever dude!

I just thought some out of town posters might like to know what was being said with regards to last night.

Exactly. However, technically we could have had both. We had the room. :banghead:
