This comes just a couple of weeks after Jamaal Charles, one of the greatest running backs in the history of the team, signed a one-day contract to retire in the city that once embraced him as well. Certainly a classy act that the organization is doing here.
Dwayne Bowe Stats
Bowe played eight seasons with the Chiefs from 2007-2014 after he was selected 23rd overall in '07 draft out of LSU. In 118 career games, Bowe accumulated 532 receptions for 7,155 yards and 44 touchdowns. The clutch receiver was critical to several solid Kansas City teams, and was a favorite target of former Chiefs QB Alex Smith.
Dwayne Bowe graded under 70.0 overall in only 1 of his 8 seasons with the Chiefs – and finished his tenure in KC with 79 career missed tackles forced, 2,398 yards after the catch and a ridiculous 373 combined first-down and TD receptions. https://t.co/8DenXV5UtW

Bowe played one season with the Browns in 2015 before retiring after that year, but he will certainly always be remembered as a Kansas City Chief. Bowe finishes his career third all-time in receiving yards, second in receptions, and fifth in touchdowns for the Chiefs.
Congratulations on an excellent career, Dwayne Bowe. Once a Chief, always a Chief.
