that's bull shit

It's happened before ... a player gets tag but doesn't sign the tag until a new contract is worked out. If the Chiefs work out a trade then the new team can work out a long term contract with Bowe. Then Bowe gets signed/traded.


as for whether any of these tweets/rumors are true or not ... we don't know.

So wait, teams were supposed to work out a long term contract for Bowe during the 3 hr first round?

Why are you being so damn hard headed on this topic? A team can work out preliminary compensation prior to contract negotiations with another club. BUT, until Bowe SIGNS the franchise tender, no picks can be exchanged. The reason this rumor is BS is pretty damn obvious.

Here's the problem.

Teams can work out the perameters of a trade involving a franchised player, but that trade can not be consumated until that player signs his franchise tender.

In order for a deal to be worked out involving Bowe, they would have to have him standing by with pen and contract, and that contract would then have to be sent immediately to the commissioner's office for approval.

All that has to be completed for the trade to be consumated.

And it has to be done in a matter of minutes.

Virtually impossible.
