Dwayne Bowe: Football World Reacts To Ex-Chiefs WR Signing With Browns
By Brett Gering
When Dwayne Bowe signed with the Cleveland Browns, the move was met with mixed emotions.
Group A:
Group B to Group A:
One group of Kansas City Chiefs fans reacted like they ditched a bad relationship, upgraded and saw their ex with someone rocking a World of Warcraft shirt.
The other group was one tweet away from gazing at a photo of Bowe and tearing up to “Do I ever cross your mind. …”
To no surprise, the national reaction was no different. Players offered a chorus of support, but the media was a hair more skeptical.
Bowe:
Excited about the next chapter....Cleveland! Look forward to spending time with the DAWG POUND in the endzone!!

Browns G.M. Ray Farmer was at K.C. when Dwayne Bowe was drafted. Natural connection.

Pro Football Focus’ Mike Clay:
Like the Bowe signing for the Browns, don't like the Browns signing for Bowe. Bowe-Hawk-Hartline much better than Hawk-Austin-Gabriel

Bleacher Report’s Matt Miller:
Maybe a little, but Bowe and Hartline aren't scaring anyone. Need speed RT @Salley516: Dwayne Bowe reduce odds for Browns to take WR at 12?

The most interesting storyline? Kansas City faces the AFC North next season. So while the dates likely won’t be announced until mid-April, Bowe will return to Arrowhead in 2015 and, for the first time in his career, try to silence it.
