Cleveland has a hole to fill at the wide receiver position this year. Josh Gordon will be out for the 2015 season while serving an indefinite suspension.
The former Chiefs wideout was released by the team on March 12 after spending the first eight seasons of his career in Kansas City.
The 30-year-old was taken by the Chiefs in the first round of the 2007 NFL Draft and immediately established himself as one of the team’s top targets. He put together three 1,000-yard campaigns in his first five seasons, earning Pro Bowl honors in 2010 when he led the NFL with 15 touchdown receptions.
However, his production has fallen off in recent years, and he’s now had three straight subpar seasons. Bowe has averaged 59 receptions and 743 yards since 2012, and last season he didn’t catch a single touchdown pass. He ranked 55th in receiving yards (754) and 57th in receptions (60) in 2014, despite playing in 15 of 16 games for the Chiefs.
Bowe still leaves behind quite a legacy in Kansas City, ranking third all-time in the franchise record books in receiving yards (7,155), fifth in touchdown catches (44) and second in receptions (532).
