I agree that he’s top 10 rather than top 5 and he’s definitely over-estimating his leverage in this deal. If he thinks he’s going to get mega bucks somewhere else, I think he’s mistaken.

If he were on the market, the teams willing to seriously overpay are likely to be places that are more than a top 10 WR away from competing and he’ll be expected to be the savior. Not a good deal.

Anybody who is already competitive and looking for a #2 WR isn’t going to pay top 10 scratch to get him. His best bet is to stay in KC.

DBowe, tell your agent to negotiate a top 10 deal with serious performance incentives. Then sign it and let’s play ball.

The Chiefs are the Royals of the NFL, & that might be giving them too much credit, considering they are on their way up. If Bowe was smart he’d demand to be let go! 20 years without a playoff win and counting

Once he gets a long term deal look for him to become Larry Johnson 2.0 w/o the off-field problems. (Get paid, get lazy)

I’m not a genius, but when he said we don’t believe he’s worth top 5 money, THAN WHY ARE YOU PAYING HIM TOP 5 MONEY!!? A franchise tag is the average of the top five contracts at that position dummy!

Even if he was “roasted” by Pioli I am praying he winds up lining up out wide for the Pats and if welker is there also, the championship is decided.

In today’s nfl you need to have a playmaker #1type wide reciever in order to be relevant that’s why Jennings Bowe and Wallace will be overpaid next season, and really there is nothing wrong with that.

Bowe’s played with some crappy QB’s since he’s been a Chief. This year will be no different with Alex Smith having to learn ANOTHER system.

Bowe to the Seahawks! Makes all the sense in the world..

With those Qb’s that have been there, who’s to say how good Bowe really is?

With Alex Smith as QB, Crabtree was an after thought. Then when Kapernick takes over, Crabtree becomes a 100 yard a game receiver. Just sayin…

Tag Bowe. Rather the Chiefs invest in a good player than stick the $$ in Clark Hunt’s pocket.

“Let him go K.C.
Buffalo could use a good Receiver opposite Stevie Johnson. The Bills also have the $$ to spend on him.”

No, you don’t. Your team has $23 million in 2013 cap space.

$8 million to sign your rookies.
$6 million per year to sign OG Andy Levitre.
$6 million per year to sign FS Jarius Byrd.

That’s $3 million in 2013 cap space left to sign Dwayne Bowe. Um, let’s say your odds of attracting him for that is “doubtful at best,” especially considering that Buffalo has to HUGELY overpay to get free agents to sign there (See Mario Williams for an example.)

LOL Pioli says “I don’t think he’s as good as his agent thinks” Nice way of sayin we not playin him what he wants! Pure class act. He cuda found another way to put that..Bowe needs to leave that dump ASAP

It would be nice to see him in Miami next season. What receiver would you think be a better signing for Miami?
Thumbs up for Bowe
Thumbs down for Wallace
Go Fins!

More than likely he’ll be tagged. He’ll also be double and triple teamed if we don’t get anyone else.

Try not to drop the ball this year slick.

Bowe you have to stay cause the Chiefs have a guy that can throw the ball to you without getting you killed!

Why does anyone care what Pioli would have done.

He is the reason why this team is in shambles.

While bowe is good and deserves a good payday, his GM is absolutely right no way is he in the top five WR in the league nor should be paid like one, top ten absolutely…

Maybe I’m wrong…….but good for Bowe

Dude has pretty much got a 2 year 21 million dollar contract guaranteed, with a 3rd year team option for about 16 million guaranteed or FA……over the last few years……

Chiefs management has to be sitting back thinking they should have signed this guy a few years back……..because after this year, they wont tag him……and he wont resign.
