Dwayne Bowe is one of the few unsigned franchise players remaining. He officially became a holdout by skipping the Chiefs’ first day of Training Camp Friday. It’s unclear what Bowe hopes to gain from this as he can’t be signed long term now anyway. He will become a free agent next offseason either way, so all he’s doing is hurting himself, and potentially costing himself money in his next contract, by skipping practice, especially with a new coaching staff coming in and other guys impressing in his absence. He can also be fined 30 thousand per day.

He’s set to make a guaranteed 9.5 million this season so he has 9.5 million reasons to report. He’ll probably report sooner rather than later. It doesn’t sound like a Cliff Avril situation as Avril has told the Lions not to expect him for “at least a couple weeks.” This season sounds like it will be Bowe’s final with the Chiefs. The two sides were nowhere close when they could have negotiated a new deal. The Chiefs have 2011 1^st round pick Jonathan Baldwin waiting in the wings, along with the veteran Steve Breaston. They also just used a 4^th round pick on Devon Wylie, another receiver.
