Ian Rapoport of NFL Media reports that the Browns brought in free agent WR Dwayne Bowe with the intention of not allowing him to leave without an agreement in place.
- Rapoport adds that the Browns are showing a big commitment to sign a top receiver.
Browns is in Cleveland today to meet with the team, so an agreement could be in place at some point in the near future.
- Adam Caplan and Mary Kay Cabot both reported in recent days that the Browns are interested in Bowe.
- Jason La Canfora mentioned not too long ago that the Browns would at least explore the idea of signing Bowe, and he noted his ties to GM Ray Farmer.
It’s worth mentioning that the Ravens and Patriots have also come up as speculative landing spots for Bowe.
Bowe, 30, had another three years remaining on his five-year, $56 million contract when he was released. The move freed up $5 million in cap space for the Chiefs.
In 2014, Bowe appeared in 15 games for the Chiefs and caught 60 passes for 754 yards receiving and no touchdowns. Pro Football Focus has him rated as the No. 45 receiver out of 110 qualifying players.
