One Way To Handle Chiefs Free Agents Dwayne Bowe, Brandon Carr

The fact that there were reports that the team was working on a long term extension with Bowes camp, and Haley had been mocking Bowe causing him to complain, makes me think it’s highly likely that Bowe stays in KC, especially with Haley no longer around.

Bowe gets his long-term deal first, Carr gets the tag if they can’t get a deal done

Neither player knows who they’re going to use it on so both are forced to at least negotiate in good faith. Carr already knows what it’s like to play on a one year deal and it was obvious he wasn’t thrilled about that and the threat of it happening again might be enough to get him to sign a deal. That works in the Chiefs favor too because I think Carr is definitely the safer pick if you were choosing who you wanted to give a longterm deal too.

…..and his underware? Jebus!

There are a lot of teams that need help bad at the CB spot so he could leave and get a bid payday.

Bowe is a top ten WR, but he does have the drop issues so I think it will be easier to re-sign him.

I thought someone hacked into my computer when I first saw the ad,..like gay porn ad or something

PAY THEM!!! $$$!!!

If I had to choose, Id rather keep Carr. Bowe has been very inconsistent during his career here.. Has had some MAJOR drops that helped decide games…he makes a spectacular catch, then drops the one that hits him right in the chest…Carr has manned his position well. I like the fact that we have 2 VERY GOOD corners….Since we have Baldwin now, and breaston…we could add another cheaper reciever to fill the hole Bowe leaves and save that money to fill another position

Bowe has been much more consistant than Carr throughout his career, let Carr prove himself one more year.

Or friggin sign both, lord knows we have the cap room

we have the cap space lets get a deal done for both.

A guy wearing nothing but a ski mask and his skivies was bad enough just at the top of the page… now it’s on the top, both sides and has an ad in between the front page articles.

but geez,.. if you saw this for the first time on AP….

I think you have to approach PHI with an offer for DRC

Actually, I don’t give a crap. Just figured we needed at least one more comment about it.

It’s easy, if you don’t have Adblock or something of the sort….ignore the ad and read the football stuff. AP has to pay the bills, and I for one am glad to have a great, FREE, website to come to and waste hours of my day.

We can’t forget that these players have to WANT to come back to KC. I see both of them wanting to test the free agent waters and see what they can get. I also think Bowe and the Bowe “show” would want a bigger market to play to. So we can throw all the money in the world at either, but if they want to play somewhere else it won’t matter…and we can only franchise one.

you need TWO good corners to cover….thus Carr is more important IMO….

Flowers and Carr would have EVEN better numbers if we had a pass rush and they didnt have to cover for 4-7 seconds on just about every passing down….Hali does a good job, but we need more pressure and push from the D Linemen.

What’s everybody’s opinion on this?

“Matt in Kansas City wonders which free agent the Chiefs will retain sooner, Dwayne Bowe or Brandon Carr.

Let’s call him M. Cassel. No, that’s too obvious. Matt C. Yeah. Matt C. has a question.

Let Bowe and Carr walk.

Every team that makes it to the Superbowl has some completely dominating aspect of their team that is leveraged to the maximum. I think the Chiefs have one – the combination of Flowers and Carr on the corners. Plus, they are friends and have developed a sixth sense between them. There is no team with a combination like that, and I believe that Crennel knows how to use them with Berry and Lewis and use the best secondary in football to beat a path to a championship. If Baldwin pans out, our receivers might be close to being upper tier, as well. Having only a decent QB for the foreseeable future indicates to me that Carr will be signed, no question. But having a totally dominant group like the secondary, and two nearly dominant groups like receivers and linebackers tell me that we could be close. Add in Charles, Moeaki and add someone decent at RT, and depth at TE and RB, and I can envision rings in the future. I am sure that Pioli and Crennel know this and are not going to throw that away. I see us signing both Carr and Bowe to long-term deals. You can win divisions with a sound team top-to-bottom, but you have to have one or two completely DOMINANT position groups to win a league championship.

What we know about the Chiefs free agency strategy is that they say they want enough cap space to give them flexibility

Flexibility to do what? Sit around and count the millions on a Saturday night like Mitt Romney does! Or wait I know, flexibility to buy some high tech spy gadgets!!!!
