Nothing really new here, just speculation, but it makes sense that Bowe would be near the top of the list of potential free agents they would pursue. I'm wondering if they feel confident enough that they can get Bowe that they're not willing to really budge from their proposal to Stevie. The Chiefs franchising or re-signing Bowe still seems like a realistic possibility though.
Is Dwayne Bowe Plan B for Bills?

Re: Is Dwayne Bowe Plan B for Bills?
Well that's my main concern. If Bowe isn't a realistic option then we need to get things locked up with Stevie.
Nix said we need to add another go to WR to pair with Stevie, or get 2 good WR's if we lose Stevie. If we can't come to terms with Stevie, who are these other WR's we're going to pick up?

Of course, that still probably means finding a WR in the draft because there is no way we pay more than 1 of those 5 guys (Stevie, Bowe, and the 3 I mentioned).

Colston has had way too many knee surgeries, and Wayne has never done anything without one of the best QB's of all time throwing to him, and Marvin Harrison on the other side.

Re: Is Dwayne Bowe Plan B for Bills?
The other thing is, Stevie actually loves Buffalo, wants to be a Bill, and has a great relationship/chemistry with Fitz.
Do we really want to roll the dice and hope we can land Vincent Jackson? What if he doesn't want to come here? What if he wants too much money?
It just doesn't seem worth it to low ball Stevie. If he leaves and we can't get Bowe or Jackson, we're hosed.

Originally posted by EdColston and Wayne have both had the benefit of playing with HOF qb's. You don't think Stevie Johnson could put up huge numbers playing with Brees or a healthy Peyton Manning? I like Stevie better then both those guys and it would be a lot easier to re-sign him then compete for someone elses services at a higher rate.

I agree with this 100%. I'm not thrilled about the current situation even if we keep Stevie. If we go into next season with Donald Jones as our #1 WR, we are definitely hosed.Last edited by Ed; 02-22-2012, 03:13 PM.

My guess is that clubs are just being prudent. FWIW, Johnson's name has showed up in the Cincy press a few times. The enigmatic (and human highlight reel) Jerome Simpson is probably gone, Andre Caldwell has flashed, failed, flashed, failed and so on.
Not much of a timetable on Jordan Shipley's return from major knee surgery.
They need someone to reliably team with AJ Green. CIN has the cap chops to sign just about any FA position - if the owner cares to. But they have a bunch of OL/DL players in FA, so they have to toss $ that way. And they need DB/S in the worst way.
So look for CIN to be a player in the FA WR market. Ralph and Mikie are kindred spirits.Fiat justitia ruat caelum. Noli timere. Laus Deo.
