If the Chiefs had managed to sign Anquan Boldin on Friday, they would have had their first big-name wide receiver since...wow, I had to go look it up. Do you consider Johnnie Morton to be a big name? No? Then you probably have to go all the way back to Andre Rison, who played for the Chiefs back in 1997.
That Was Weird: The Chiefs Almost Landed A Big-Name Wide Receiver
↵Even in the Chiefs’ most recent glory days, Trent Green often relied on non-WRs Tony Gonzalez and Priest Holmes as targets. This just isn’t much of a wide receiver team, as validated by today’s non-signing.
↵No disrespect to Dwayne Bowe -- who has loads of ability and is fun to watch -- but it looks like they’re planning on sticking Jamaal Charles with most of the receiving load. Charles, of course, is also the team’s running back, kick returner, offensive coordinator, and head coach. In addition, Charles is the team’s 70,000 fans in attendance, usher, concessions worker, ticket taker, mascot, and stadium.
