Dwayne Bowe, Brandon Carr Are The Chiefs 'First Priority'
by Joel Thorman on Feb 2, 2012 3:05 PM CST

PrintWe have a priority list on the Kansas City Chiefs free agency.
But it shouldn't surprise you. Not at all.
Romeo Crennel's interview with Soren Petro of 810 WHB was full of good stuff including the part where he said Dwayne Bowe and Brandon Carr -- both impending free agents -- are the "first priority".
"Those guys have done a good job for us," Crennel said. "We would like to keep those guys in house. We know the free agency process is a difficult thing at times." GM Scott Pioli has said the same thing -- that he wants to keep both of them. So we've established that the Chiefs will make an effort to keep both.
"Hopefully they will want to stay and we're going to do everything we can to keep him," Crennel continued. "You just never know. But they are the first priority."
That shouldn't be a surprise. No offense to the rest of the Chiefs free-agents-to-be but Bowe and Carr are clearly the most important ones.
As for another Chiefs free agent, Crennel indicated that he would like to keep Kyle Orton as well. "He did a great job the three games we had him as the starter. He won two out of three. Not bad."
Whether that actually happens is another story.

Thanks for the heads up!
Though I am not going to do my happy dance until they are both signed.
I really, really hope Romeo is representing the overall vibe
And not just his own feelings.
I’m still getting used to hearing our HC give away info like that…
I love my wife, my kids, and the Chiefs. In that order. Except on game days.

Rome is probably thinking
This ain’t NE, enough of that super secret stuff

Of course
they want to keep Bowe, Carr, and Orton. Seeing as how we need help at NT, LG, and RT. Bowe will move to LG, Carr is our future at RT, and Orton is the missing piece for the NT position.

Not to difficult
really. If Orton can improve his hard count he can really mess with the opposing teams center and QB, and since he was the one doing the hard count he will know exactly when the ball is snapped and will have that split second advantage to sidestep the block and get into the back field.
With Bowe over at LG we will have to come up with some imaginative packages to make it a LG elligible formation, but I am sure our new OC can figure something out. I can’t remember the new OC’s name, but he also works swing shift at the gas station across the street from Arrowhead.
Carr at RT is a bit of a stretch, but he has to be better than a blade of grass which has been proven to be better than BRich.

difficult
hell with his hard count, I wanna see him get the Chiefs in the endzone more often then he did in three games. I believe it was twice last season

A lot of speculation that one will stay and one will go when it comes to Bowe and Carr
I tend to think one will get a new contract and one will get franchised. Either way, both are still with the team in 2012.

Bowe and Carr are not not going anywhere. Or should not.
Orton will hopefully stay with us, too.

I'm glad he's saying this publicly
It’s a question that’s been killing us all year long. If we don’t lock these guys up it’s just another hole were going to have to address somewhere else. Hopefully this is why we haven’t made any big FA signings. Is it Dorsey and Albert next year?

i feel pretty confident this will happen.
30 something million under the cap, RAC as HC, good track record of keeping their home grown…I’m not too worried about those two…QB & OC are a different story.

Notice the "him" and not them
“Hopefully they will want to stay and we’re going to do everything we can to keep him,” Crennel continued. “You just never know. But they are the first priority.”
I think that Bowe is basically a done deal Carr is the one we have to worry about
I have a feeling Carr wants to be paid a flowers type contract (which i agree he should get) and if he does not get it offered will want to test FA
(I read somewhere his realitives and friends were trying to get him to check out Detroit i think it was not sure if it was true or not)
Yeah, that couldn't possibly be a transcript error.
Considering everything else he said was talking about both of them.

Was the comment about Orton a response or did he volunteer that on his own?
"Give them nothing! But take from them everything!"
I thought the part at the end was intereting.
RAC says the most important thing he learned from Belichick was being flexible with your gameplan. Sounds like the complete opposite of Haley.
Todd Haley lost 7 of his last 15 games by 20 or more points. It was time for him to go.

hi, Mo! 5 minutes!!!
Cap room?
If KC can lock up Carr, Bowe and Orton, how much cap space would we still have? I’d love to see us make a run at NT Soliai, but it sounds like he will need 15 mil if they put the franchise tag on him again this year. Would also like to see some O-line FA moves. The question in my mind is if Pioli and Hunt are willing to actually spend the money to make these things happen. If past behavior is the best predictor for future behavior, then we are in for a modest amount of FA moves unless cap rules force the collective hands
good news
Bowe and Carr hope you want to come back we want hall back!
