Will Dwayne Bowe's baggage scare teams away?

Conventional wisdom says there should be three top receivers available in free agency this year: Greg Jennings, Mike Wallace, and Dwayne Bowe.

They each have the skills to be a "No. 1" target but they also have some knocks against them. Jennings is coming off an injury-plagued year. Wallace is a speed merchant that hasn't exactly developed into a complete receiver. Bowe's downside is harder to define.

"I am scared to death of Dwayne Bowe," one scout told SI.com's Peter King. "Like him a lot, but not sure what we'd be buying if we signed him. Too much baggage."

Bowe didn't have the best reputation early in his days after getting drafted by the Kansas City Chiefs. His propensity for drops matched his up-and-down effort. (And up-and-down weight.) Bowe has mostly avoided negative headlines the last two seasons, but his reputation for selfish behavior clearly still persists.

I have little doubt Bowe will get paid big bucks regardless. King mentions Jennings, Wallace, and Brian Hartline as this year's biggest receiver targets, but Bowe has the most well rounded skill set of any one of them. He's put up big numbers despite shaky quarterback play, even if Bowe is the master at garbage time production.

The biggest concern here is how Bowe will react to earning big money. He's played his best the last two years while playing for a new contract. He won't get Vincent Jackson money, but Bowe should do very well even if he scares some teams to death.

Now I'm more sure than ever we should resign him. :P

Bowe celebrated once...

good ****ing god, you'd think he was a gang banger reading the stupid shit that has been written about him over the years

TrueFanDave · 02-11-2013, 08:33 AM

I wanna know what the baggage is/was.

This is sad Bowe puts up numbers with dog shit for QBs. He doesn't get into trouble and for the most part keeps his mouth shut. Sign the guy and get some good offensive players and a QB

Yeah, I don't get why people would be scared.

The only trouble he's been in was in 09 when he tested positive for diuretics.

Cool. Stay away from him as much as possible so we can re-sign him.

Rumor season has started again. Teams will say anything to knock a chunk off of a players' perceived value.

Branden Albert's Huge Balls · 02-11-2013, 08:48 AM

It would be priceless as **** if Pioli was trying to sabotage Bowe from beyond the grave.
