The Facts: There was never much of a question about whether Bowe would sign his $9.5 million franchise tag tender. The only question was when.That was answered Friday when the Chiefs announced that Bowe signed on the dotted line.
Diehards Line:As NFL.com's Gregg Rosenthal suggests, the timing is very logical. The Chiefs just wrapped up training camp, which any veteran is happy to avoid. Bowe still has more than three weeks to get ready for the season opener. Kansas City has a new offensive system this year under coordinator Brian Daboll, but it shares many of the characteristics from the Charlie Weis days in Kansas City. And the news is obviously good for a Kansas City offense that got off to a fast start with Matt Cassel, Jamaal Charles and Petyon Hillis in the preseason opener. Getting Bowe back ads a very dangerous weapon to the mix.
