KANSAS CITY, Mo. – The Kansas City Chiefs announced on Friday that WR Dwayne Bowe has signed his franchise tender.

Bowe has played in 75 career games (70 starts) for the Chiefs with 356 catches for 4,927 yards and 36 touchdowns during his five-year career. He has led the Chiefs in receptions and receiving yards in each of the past three seasons.

In his last two seasons, Bowe has caught 153 passes for 2,321 yards and 20 TDs. In 2011, he notched 81 receptions for 1,159 yards and five TDs. During the 2010 season, he recorded 72 catches for a career-best 1,162 yards and a franchise-record 15 TDs, a mark that led the NFL and included a stretch of seven consecutive games with a TD reception to set a team record. He earned second-team All-Pro honors and was selected to the Pro Bowl following his 2010 campaign.

His 356 receptions rank seventh in team history and his 4,927 receiving yards rank eighth in club annals. With 36 touchdown catches, he ranks fifth in Chiefs history while his 73 catches of 20-plus yards are third-most in franchise record books.

The Miami, Fla., native originally entered the NFL as Kansas City’s first-round selection (23rd overall) in the 2007 NFL Draft. He was a first-team All-SEC selection at LSU, where he caught 154 passes for 2,403 yards and a school-record 26 TDs.

It's nice of Bowe to show up a week or two earlier than he had much reason to.

This doesn't change anything re: Bowe and Pioli, the Chiefs don't seem to feel like Bowe is in their long term plans.

I think franchising Albert will be the fig leaf as to why Bowe will walk this offseason.

nothing. We'd get ripped off. There is no value in being ripped off. It's not even worth talking about.

What it shows is that there isn't any animosity. It was nothing more than a vet player not wanting to sleep on a twin size bed and then practice in 100 degree heat.

Why would Bowe sign back? After his 1 year deal.

Pasta Little Brioni · 08-17-2012, 12:17 PM

Sooooo, it was a ploy to skip camp, not say **** you to Pioli. Who would have thunk it??

Aaron Rodgers, Damarcus Ware, Jared Allen, 4 first round picks, 2 thirds, and a seventh.

In more important news, Willis retired.

How do you he didn't negotiate the fact that he won't be tagged again next year?

Bowe and a 1st for Roddy White/dumbasses

Bill Belichick will take him for Ryan Mallett and a 5th rounder.

Scott: DEAL!

I didn't think he'd sign for another week so awsome.

I don't see why he couldn't play in the Seattle game. Depending on when the acclimation period begans he should be able to practice by tuesday and maybe monday if the acclimation period starts at this afternoons practice.
