Reports call chad johnson ‘ocho cinco’ in the blink of an eye but take nearly full season to call a guy Jon, as opposed to Jonathan. #DERP

I watched this guy last year make some real circus acrobatic catches. He definitely is the “real deal”. Give him a fair chance and he will surprise you on the upside.

He’ll get a new nickname when some concussed ex-player like Troy Aikman or Steve Young starts calling him Alec, Stephen, Daniel or Billy.

You heard it here first folks! He will have a BIG year. Not if he stays healthy but if he is MATURE.

Jon.

I like it. Short is good. It is cool.

Florio needs to step up and ask to be called “Flo,”

Hopefully he doesnt change his last name to his numbers in some crazy language too.

Cuz mike Wallace didn’t get the franchise tag, he got a first round tender offer

Wallace was offered a 1St round tender, which is for 2.7 mil as a restricted free agent while Bowe was franchised as an unrestricted free agent

Football outsiders must not have watched him. Besides his late start because of the Thomas Jones beat down and Todd Haley running the team like a nutcase, he showed flashes of what he can do. As for the Mike Wallace vs Bowe question how many teams offered the Steelers a first rounder plus the 2.7 mil for Wallace? None. The biggest problem for the Chiefs is that there’s a new offense in KC and hopefully Baldwin will flourish in it. Bowe on the other hand couldn’t run half his routes correctly last year so missing camp won’t bode well.

Why is Dwyane Bowe’s franchise tag $9.5 and Mike Wallace’s tag only $2.7?

because DBowe was a franchise player and Wallace is a restricted free agent

“He has a good attitude, so I anticipate that he’ll have a good year.” Crennel should send a thank you letter to Thomas Jones for this “good attitude.”

I actually like Baldwin but he needs to show some consistency and stay healthy. The Chiefs have a combination of size and speed all around on offense that other teams envy. Now they just need Cassel to get the ball to his weapons on a consistent basis (and everyone needs to stay healthy).

Football Outsiders rated him at the bottom of the NFL barrel at receiver last year. God knows, it’s the Chiefs, but still.

John with or without an “h”?

Sincerely, all the Johns from the beginning of time.
