Given the fact the Chiefs went through an entire season without a touchdown from their wide receivers, the idea they want to mix it up there seems reasonable.
But given their recent investments, it’s still going to be a tough pill to swallow.
According to Ian Rapoport of the NFL Network, the Chiefs are expected to cut wide receiver Dwayne Bowe unless they can trade him.
Bowe just finished the second year of a five-year, $56 million deal, and is scheduled to make $10.75 million this year.
Because he forfeited his guarantees with his one-game suspension for violating the league’s drug policy, it’s easier for the Chiefs to move on if they want to.
If they designate him as a post-June 1 cut, they’d take a $3 million cap hit this year and $6 million next year, unless they want to swallow the whole $9 million this season.
And it sounds like they definitely want to move on, unless they’re able to squeeze him into a last-minute pay cut.
