This kind of goes back to the Jeff Chadiha article from a week or two ago and is from the players side. From the owners side, Bowe has to be on the active roster for six games this season. If he doesn't, KC will still own his rights and the tag will not count. Furthermore, he will lose a year of accruement towards the right to be a unrestricted free agent. If Clark Hunt and Pioli wanted to be jerks, they could really blacklist the kid and hold him hostage until the end of his career. This kind of thing is probably really pissing the owners off after last year's cba negociations. Clark may feel obligated to appease the other owners and make an example of Bowe.
Personally, I think Bowe's agent is an idiot. Look at how Pittsburgh already gave Wallace's contract to Brown. Tomlin has already said he's not going to mess with Wallace and he eluded that he would be way down the depth chart. Note that they have the same agent. Bowe is gambling big time. The days of holding owners hostage are over and he should be very careful. The longer this goes on, the worse it will get for Bowe.
