Chiefs Bowe to be traded? (rumor, calm down) - Page 11

Jets targeting Brandon Marshall, Dwayne Bowe?

Posted by Mike Florio on August 19, 2009 7:32 AM ET
Apparently, Jets coach Rex Ryan has stopped talking long enough to realize that his team has yet to find a capable replacement for receiver Laveranues Coles.

And so the Jets, per Rich Cimini of the New York Daily News, have had preliminary discussions with a few teams regarding a trade for a veteran wideout.

According to Cimini, the biggest name on the team's radar is Broncos receiver Brandon Marshall. Though the Broncos have shown no willingness to trade Marshall, the relationship between player and team is tenuous, to say the least. That said, Marshall has way too many question marks hovering over his career, both on and off the field.

Cimini also floats the name of Chiefs receiver Dwayne Bowe as a possible target, but we can't imagine Kansas City trading one of their only quality players -- cough . . . Tony Gonzalez . . . cough.

As Cimini points out, Jets G.M. Mike Tannebaum has a reputation for making deals late in the preseason. Still, it's difficult for a receiver to make an impact in a new offense without the benefit of participating in the offseason program and training camp.

But it nevertheless looks like something could be happening. And that's good news for the Jets, because beyond Jerricho Cotchery the team doesn't have many quality targets for rookie quarterback Mark Sanchez.

Particularly if we could get another weapon to open up the field for him to break some tackles.

Because Matt Jones is suspended?

If you haven't noticed this market loves good guys, even if they are shitty players.

About the only player I can ever recall being defended after doing dumb shit was Jared Allen.

This market loves the hard working good guy over the talented screwup.

Yeah, because Jared Allen had a drinking problem and is a little white trash. Most Chiefs fans can relate to that, sadly.

Pretty much, I remember Chiefs fans who hated Dale Carter.

Haley can't be TOO disappointed with these schmucks if he hasn't made an effort to lock down a talented guy like Matt Jones.

There's got to be something to it. It's not just us, no one has been sniffing around him. Something's up...

Still I always found it funny to see fans hate on a guy who made the pro bowl something like 5 times while he was here.

Meanwhile people liked Willie Davis, it hurt my head even as a kid.

MoreLemonPledge · 08-19-2009, 06:58 PM

I don't know. I signed Matt Jones to my Madden franchise. He's got more yards than Bowe right now.

WTF are you talking about? Pollard never even touched him. That play did not show any power at all.

He's a big guy, but Bowe's game (Maybe it was more Hutard and Thigpen's game) is much more physical than is Johnson. Most of Johnson's plays are based on speed. Bowe runs through tackles.

I'd consider Andre Johnson a complete WR, there is nothing he can't do he has every tool.
