Chiefs Bowe to be traded? (rumor, calm down) - Page 5

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.

I was speaking of Andre Johnson.

I don't think there is one that would take him over Andre either...

Those guys are just different animals Andre Johnson is a 230lb man with top end speed.

I haven't seen the work ethic and dedication by Bowe to become an elite receiver yet. Apparently neither has Haley considering the demotion. That said, we are not trading Bowe unless it leads directly to us getting another WR that we think is better.

example: Jets were going to give us a 1st and 3rd for Bowe and then we already had a deal in place to give those picks(plus whatever) to the Cardinals for Boldin.

No way to we go into the season without Bowe or another comparable receiver.

Andre is much faster than Bowe, which puts Bowe at an obvious disadvantage for the comparison. Bowe is more of a Fitz/T.O Type. Andre is more of a Calvin Johnson/Randy Moss Type. Different kind of receiver.

And yet with more natural ability Andre Johnson wasn't able to put up better numbers than Bowe his first two years in the league.

I think people on this board greatly underestimate Bowe's ability as a WR. The grass is always greener.

The Chiefs aren't going anywhere this season and if the right trade comes along (say a 1, 3 & a 6), Bowe's a goner.

That would suck.

Of course he got drafted by the expansion team with it's I believe 1st pick in the 2nd year..

Either way if you're picking WR's generally speaking you take the guy with the huge body and top end speed before you take the guy with just the body. it's no slight on Bowe it's just what you naturally have.

There's a reason Andre was a top 5 pick.

Bowe should have been a top 10 pick too. Theres a reason Miamis GM/Coach aren't there anymore.

just listened to a jet's beat reporter who didn't think there was anything to this...

Eh Miami gets blasted for passing on the QB, Bowe was generally projected right around where he went, he was projected to the Chiefs numerous times.

Bowe > Ginn. It seemed like alot of fans weren't happy with the Bowe pick, he's really a stud though. I think trading him would be a mistake and a great way to get Cassel hurt. A bad o-line+ Wr's that don't get open= injured QB. Was the QB Brady Quinn? Yea I don't know about Brady either he's good and the Browns are stupid or he didn't get draft til late for a reason.

Boldin > Bowe

Mecca · 08-19-2009, 12:39 PM

Yea well they should have taken Quinn...and Ted Ginn wasn't projected that high either.

Bowe can be great if Haley can do what he did with Fitzgerald...and thats exactly what it seems he's trying to do.
