Holdout seen flying to Kansas City Friday

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.

Right...and he could have said **** it, i'm not showing up until week 1. or longer. I think they also could include language that says we won't franchise you again next year. So this is what I am thinking happened, but what the hell do I know.

sucks that he's prohibited from signing a long term deal - what does that accomplish?

It's supposed to prevent or discourage franchised players from holding out in training camp.

Dolphins or Jets.

I wonder what "reached an agreement" means at this point. What was there to agree on since they couldn't talk contracts at this point?
