Should Panthers Try To Obtain WR Dwayne Bowe?

The Kansas City Chiefs are close to the breaking point with WR Dwayne Bowe, and may soon be willing to part ways with their 2007 1st round pick. Should the Panthers be giving them a call?

Bowe's career started off great, with 70 catches as a rookie, followed by 86 catches in his 2nd season. Everything started going down hill for Bowe last season. He got in new Head Coach Todd Haley's dog house several times (being benched once or twice), he was suspended 4 games for using a banned substance, and his production dropped to only 47 catches. Now he's angered all his teammates by blowing the whistle on their "importing" of young women, to their hotel rooms for away games. After that, I don't see how he can remain in that locker room, but the Chiefs say he's down to his last chance (according to Michael Blunde, at ProFootballWeekly.com).

Dwayne Bowe (6-2, 221, 4.51-40, 1.53-10) has 203 catches, for 2,606 yards (a 12.8 yard average), with 16 TD's, in his 3 year career. On the negative side, Bowe lead the league in drops last season (11), and was 2nd in 2008, with 13 drops.

I don't know what the Chiefs would ask in trade for Bowe, but their GM Scott Pioli has that New England custom of often trading a player at below market value, now Bowe's value is now down from what it once was, and the threat he may leave as a free agent. Maybe the Chiefs would trade Bowe for Brandon LaFell and a 3rd or 4th round pick in 2011, or maybe a 3-4 OLB like Eric Norwood or Hilee Taylor, in some combination with LaFell. Bowe, by still being on his rookie contract, doesn't have the big salary that prevents the penny pinching Panthers from trading for other veterans.

If you were the Panthers, would you call the Chiefs, to see what they might take for Bowe.

Until JR is not in control of the Panthers you can forget about players with any kind of troubles (drugs or legal issues) coming to Carolina. Unless is is already on the team (Jarrett) you just won't see those types of players coming here. Right or Wrong, that doesn't matter. After Carruth, JR doesn't seem willing to deal with the headaches that come with a player like that.

      Joe Person mock draft. Mar 5.

      By MHS831 · Posted

      I love this draft because they picked the right OL.  It is possible that we have 2 rookies starting on the OL.  I would take Utah's Lomu as well, but for those who think you find the OL in free agency and not the draft, here is all I have to say:  We cannot give $110m to the 5 starting OL.  We need an infusion of youth on the OL as well.  If Ickey returns and can play, I imagine that he takes over for Hunt at RG--in 2027 or so.  Currently, our 2 guards and right tackle make up over 20% of the total cap.  We have to add 2 starters, but if Cade Mays was too pricey at around (anticipated) $8m, then we plan to draft a C, it seems. I think we draft an OT and C now because we will need a G or 2 and a RT soon.  While they were good in 2026, they were not elite.  For that kind of $$, we need elite.  Is starting a rookie LT and C ideal?  Nope.  But if we can get better than Nijman and Mays, we should be OK. I think we will pick up an ILB in free agency and add an ILB.  Who we draft (Mike or Will) will depend on who we sign.  Rodriguez is a favorite of mine, but if Golday is there, Morgan is going to take him.  Morgan will love him. I do not think we need to overpopulate the edge position right now because we have 1 edge returning from injury (Jones II), one rookie from last year ready to step up and could be really good (Scourton), and another who could be ready to step into the situational pass rusher role (Princely).  2 hold the edge very well and if we had a situational pass rusher to join Princely, we could be much better. I think rookies at Edge tend to jump considerably from their rookie seasons to years 2 and 3.  (Charles Johnson, Mike Rucker, and Greg Hardy were that way-and all became very good in time. Safety seems omitted, but we shall see.  That could be another free agent acquisition.

      Id like Evans from Duke in the draft as a shooter for the second unit. And probably a more athletic big to replace all, he's good but doesn't really fit the style. White, Evans, green, Williams and center tbd is a pretty good second unit
