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.

After watching that video, I've come to the conclusion that you turds saying we should trade Bowe can take a flying leap of something.

Yeah, the dude has dropped a pass or two, but he's an extremely talented wr, who we will need if/when we make a deep playoff push.

I just got online.

Yessssssssss!

Not to mention that we would be looking at what, like a 3rd round pick at best? I would gamble on keeping Bowe long-term even if the odds are low over taking a 3rd-5th rounder. I don't really think its that tough a choice either. Trading because you are so afraid of getting nothing doesn't make sense logically. Especially when what you are getting in return is not value.

The NFL has moved the trade deadline back a couple of weeks this year.

If our season turns to shit and some borderline playoff team loses a receiver ... Baldwin is playing well.

They might back up the truck in a trade for Bowe.

So I guess my post wasn't such a silly,tinfoil hat post, was it?

If that's his only reason, he's earned it. I'm fine with it.

You guys can't turn on Bowe. The guy has played his guys out here and deserves to be paid and retire a Chief.

I guess you guys wouldn't pay Andre Johnson cause he got in a fist fight on the 50 once?

Has the guy produced at an elite level? Yes. Don't trade him, pay him.

This turd didn't wish it. Just expressed concern that Pioli might do it.
