Schefter: Chiefs Should Trade Bowe to the Ravens

There is no benefit whatsoever. He is paid nominally for his production, he’s in his 3rd year when recievers usually break out, they don’t need any more 2nd round draft picks, and they will never be able to match his production, and by trading the Chiefs only WR option, will prohibit Cassel’s ability to produce and grow in this system. I didn’t like the TG trade for this reason, and I would hate this trade.

Then Pioli and Haley need to be fired immediately after the season.

I don’t care that Braylon Edwards didn’t get a 1st round pick in the deal to the Jets…the Browns sold low and got screwed because Mangini is a fucking moron and Kokonis is incompetent. There is no reason to sell low on Bowe considering he’s only in his third season and the team owns his rights for three more years after this one. We are unlikely to get a player in the 2nd round of equivalent value to Bowe or a player in the 5th round that would make up the difference between Bowe and the 2nd rounder.

Schefter’s way off.

I’d stop watching Chiefs football until the draft

a team with an excess of young OT? Seems like I saw that on their site. Perhaps a stud tackle & a draft pick?

Owens to the Bears – would be great TV when he explodes on Cutler.

Peppers to the Niners – SICK DEFENSE

Merriman to the Pats – Merriman would choke a bitch to get that deal done.

Bowe to….. whoever – Wave the white flag.

if this happens i am done!!! but it NEVER will..only a second and a 5th. they are high. dwayne bowe has performed up to his first round potential so far and in my opinion is on the way to becoming one of the best

I think it’s awesome that he thinks we could get a 2nd and 5th out of DBowe and the old man TO would only get a 4th.

Not because I’m this huge Dwayne Bowe fan, but because it would confirm that Pioli is only out to build his own legacy and doesn’t really care about the team.

I’m not real interested in seeing that.

Hopefully thats not the case though.

I can’t hear any more of this trading and cutting of players. I need stability in my football life. I cant bear to see us go 0-7. Do I dare watch the next 2 games? why do I even subject myself to the thought of us having a chance? In response to trades, I would be all for trading down from our top 5 spot and acquiring another late first or early second. I have already started looking at the draft next year and it is mid-october. I thought we’d be 2-3 at this point. 3-4 at the bye.

Get a 5th for lj. That would give us 3 of them. Turn 2 of them into a 4th. Where’s that application for the Chiefs? I need to fill that sh*t out. i know my stuff. I can block too.

then Haley can literally play with guys off the street this year and Pioli can draft an entire team of his own next year.

this is an offense built around its receivers similar to both new England and Arizona. Why would we give away our best receiver who also happens to be very young.

Ive lost respect for him and his integrity since joining espn and his reporting has gone down the drain. At NFL.com he was the fact guy, the end all be all in league knowledge and now he’s stooping to all new lows. Even if there was a deal its at least a first for a guy that is only 24 and has 2000+ yards in two seasons of work.

He is crazy just thinking of that. Dwayne Bowe will be a star in the future.

how he said this was a trade that makes sense. this trade makes only sense for Bal but not for us. i’m not talking probability, as it’s not likely, but that this trade would hurt us not help us so there it makes absolutely no sense. he’s just talking out his ass just to have something to talk about.

I propose we trade with the Donkeys.

Ryan Clady & Eddie Royal for one of our second round picks and a snickers.

Seriously? Why would you trade your best WR. He is a good WR… picks are gambles.. Bowe we know is good. Horrible idea.

Bowe is not Cassel’s #1 target, Sean Ryan is. However, Bowe is by far one of the best WR’s we have had since Stephon Paige or Carlos Carson.

I don’t know if some of you guys are just Wildcat fans that have been tired of having NO teams in the area that are winning, but some people need to give this thing some time.

For every franchise that makes a quick turnaround (and it’s way too early to tell on Denver, how many quick starts have faltered), a handful more take a year or two to get the right personnel, especially for drastic system changes.

Also, on top of having the picks accumulated for next year’s draft, there’s plenty of money available as has been well documented on this blog/site. $36 million is it still?

Provided that the big names hold their own and develop into what Scott Pioli believes that they will, if the team is able to patch up the LB core and acquire some guys that can rush the passer along with another S and depth at CB, the defense can be good. On the other side, with some drafting and patchwork potentially done through FA, Cassel and Bowe are great pieces to start with at the skill position. TE is something that can usually be addressed in the middle rounds, and WRs can be had if not drafted. Drafting capable OL and LBs will likely be what the team’s success hinges on for the next year or two.

The Detroit Lions this team is not. I’ve been planted here watching the Ford family and the Matt Millen shipwreck since moving from Kansas City, and all fans who experienced what I’ve seen would be very appreciative to know what it’s like to see your team mishandled like the Lions have been. Or, you could have looked across the parking lot for quite a while, whichever suits you.

As far as Bowe is concerned, to strip down the team solely for picks isn’t always a good idea. What kind of progress can Cassel, who hasn’t had a great deal of experience, gain by having absolutely no semblance of an offense? At least Bowe can or would be a legitimate target on a winning team. Not to mention, you don’t want a hopeless losing environment like the Browns are dealing with. To take anything less than a 1st Round pick for Bowe would be a mistake.
