So at least 3 more years of waiting?

A new GM will realize how important Bowe is and re-sign him.

If Geno is the real deal, there aren't many pieces to replace.

2014 we're in the post-season.

this would require Clark to fire Pioli the day/week this current season ends.

If he is flip flopping for a new GM by January/February then Bowe is gone. If he keeps Pioli then Bowe is also gone.

There is a really high chance of no Bowe, unless he is tagged again. and if Bowe gets tagged again I am sure he will not like that.


also to even have a shot at Geno I believe Pioli has to go. Scott Pioli drafting Geno Smith? Pioli putting his ego and Pats Tree bullshit aside to do something different? No way that happens.

1st of all, Duh.

Secondly, FA doesn't begin until March.

that doesn't give you much time to work out a new deal, especially if the other side is not budging.

example Brandon Carr. They had to make a jump on Routt in February because Pioli knew his fears come March was Brandon Carr testing FA and not budging on any deal from Piolis end.

The same will happen with at least one of Bowe, Dorsey, Albert, if not two of them. Only one tag to go around and as it stands right now Pioli has NO leverage to get any of these guys to sign long term, unless he severely overpays them. And he's not doing that.

I could get a deal done with Bowe in 24 hours if I had the power to do so. It's not difficult. It's just stubborn GMs being stubborn assholes in their stubbornness and stubborn stubbornity.

it doesnt help that the team sucks now, the season is a mess and it's going to be hard to sell Bowe on staying here with crap like Romeo, Cassel, etc. Unless Pioli can give promises of improvement. Why wouldnt Bowe want to go play for a better team?

If Pioli isn't fired, I don't care what happens after that.

unless Bowe wants out even if we do get Geno, which we prob won't lets face it. But damn it would be nice. We'd still have Baldwin, Dex, Breaston and could grab one in later rounds. and 2 solid but injury prone TE's. Running backs for days and an o-line that could be good next year.
