Holdout seen flying to Kansas City Friday

UPDATED 4:14 PM CDT Aug 10, 2012

KANSAS CITY, Mo. -
Holdout wide receiver Dwayne Bowe has reached agreement with the Kansas City Chiefs over his contract dispute, a source has told KMBC 9 News.

Bowe, who has missed all of the team's training camp, was spotted flying to Kansas City on Friday afternoon.

Bowe, 27, had been holding out while trying to get a long-term contract. He did not sign one before the league deadline for a long-term deal expired last month.

The Chiefs named him their nonexclusive franchise player last spring, which meant the team would have to offer him a one-year contract that would make him one of the five highest-paid players in the league. He could negotiate with other teams, but the Chiefs would have the right to match the offer or get two first-round draft picks as compensation.

The Chiefs have not yet confirmed that Bowe has reached an agreement with them.

The team plays its first preseason game of the year against the Arizona Cardinals Friday night at Arrowhead Stadium.

Maybe so. It seems like most injuries (after hold-outs) are the result of poor conditioning, not lack of contact, so this is something that Bowe can control on his own right now to a certain extent.

Pioli was playing with fire not getting Bowe signed. Surely he could have anticipated that if Bowe held out for an extended length of time, he might not be ready for the regular season, no?

Either Pioli has supreme confidence Bowe can just practice for a week and then start, or supreme confidence that he doesn't need Dwayne Bowe.

Or maybe he's just a supreme idiot.

God, you truly are one morose bastard. "Misplaced joy." wtf dude. Put down the laptop, shave, go out and get laid.

Of course we're not throwing all of our passes to the running backs and slot receiver. But between Baldwin, Moeaki, Boss, Breaston, and yes two running backs that excel at catching passes (first play of game, Hillis split out wide), the offense should be just fine.

It behooves Bowe to get into camp. The ONLY reason to not show up is to avoid injury. That's it.

You still can't explain how Pioli is suffering right now due to Bowe's absence. Seriously, tell us your brilliant observation as to how this team is hurting without his presence?

Any chance we sign Bowe to a long term deal? Or do you all think this will be his final year as a Chief?

I think this will be his last year. Dude turns 29 next year. Not exactly ancient, but getting older for a "long-term" deal.

They can't sign anything until after the season. They can agree to terms, but not sign the contract.

I think everyone here is going to assume this is his last year. Honestly, I think he either absolutely will be here for foreseeable future, or he is gone. I think the Chiefs likely already know if they want him. This isn't about numbers. If they want him, he'll be here. If they don't, he's gone.

It doesn't look great so far, though. But you never know.

Hard to say, but I think we would be better off with our top WR in camp now.

Is anybody else craving a burrito supreme?

Just curious about everyones opinion on which way Pioli is leaning at this point. Because I'm sure he already has made up his mind on the future of Bowe and the Chiefs. If I had to guess, I'd say Bowe will be let go after this season the same way Carr was let go. Some team will offer him a great deal and we won't want to pay as much.

At the very least he'll be tagged again.

No way he leaves without us getting picks for him. If Pioli wants him gone, he'll tag Bowe, let Bowe meet with teams, and if a team comes with the right trade package and a long term deal for Bowe, trade him.
