Adam Schefter is an Idiot (Trade Bowe)

Does trading Bowe make sense? - AFC West Blog - ESPN

ESPN’s Adam Schefter is looking at some trades that he thinks make sense, but likely won’t happen before Tuesday’s trading deadline. Included in his proposed deals is a swap of receiver Dwayne Bowe by Kansas City to Tennessee. In the deal, Schefter has the receiver-hungry Titans giving the Chiefs second and fifth-round picks to the Chiefs.

It would surely be a good deal for the Titans, who could use a veteran a receiver as they try to continue their playoff push.

But would it be a prudent deal for the Chiefs? I don’t think so.

Yes, Bowe is a free agent at the end of the year. So, if they don’t think they can or want to extend him, getting valuable picks is better than losing Bowe outright.

But I think the Chiefs need to keep him. They have plenty of cap room and he is a core player. The Chiefs will be better with Bowe than without him. He is heating up after a brilliant season last year. He and quarterback Matt Cassel have a terrific rhythm together.

I know the Chiefs drafted Jon Baldwin in the first round and signed Steve Breaston in free agency. But this offense could be very dangerous with all three of these receivers.

Kansas City general manager Scott Pioli has done an outstanding job in giving his core players contract extensions. The fact that Bowe has not been given a new deal yet could be a sign that there is hesitation on one of the two sides.

But, in the end, I think extending Bowe would be a better avenue than trading Bowe.

Not happening. After Baldwins lackluster rookie debut, and Bowes proven ability to make plays and thus win us games, Bowe is staying at least one more year in the form of a franchise tag.

Well it ain't illegal to be an idiot.

It is ill-advisable though

I agree completely with the Gorilla!

We all get to play the role of idiot at one or more times in our lives.

They would be stupid to trade Bowe off, outside of him and Breaston, there really isn't anyone else who is much of a threat since Charles and Moeaki are gone for the year. Baldwin may surprise us later in the season but he is still not proven yet.

Two things:

First, this Schefter's article was about trades that won't happen.

Second, I give Bowe happily for a first round to Miami or Indianapolis.

I'd say Miami, losing Henne for the year and having a loud mouthed starting running back that'll tear up the locker room... I think they might have the perfect season too, 0-16.
